Security guards play a crucial role in providing security especially in occasions where state or federal police are not readily available. This would include areas such as private homes and companies as well as financial institutions such as banks. Nevertheless, Security Guards are regulated in a General Business Act in New York Article 7-A (Rowland & Coupe, 2014). This article defines a security guard as that individual who is tasked with promoting peace in all aspects of peace enhancing efforts (such as protecting property, street patrol service, providing security response to alarms and reporting unauthorized or unlawful activity).This individual, however, should not have direct links with police services provided for any of the state or …show more content…
Through the above legislation, security guards are expected to execute their responsibility in an immediate-response approach to criminal or any other unlawful act within their area of jurisdiction. This is to imply that in areas which are prone to criminal activities (such as banks), it becomes the responsibility of the security guards to be in a position of preventing attacks by alerting the state police on any suggestive criminal plan on the premises or homes and other business premises(Billingsley, et al 2013).
With respect to the described approach revealed above on security guards, there are a number of conclusions that would be made. With respect to GBA 7-A, the delegation of protection and other security services to these private security guards have two major implication on New York’s security affairs(Rowland & Coupe, 2014). First and foremost, the overall peace and harmony seen in this state is achieved substantially and hence the public lives in peaceful

A common phenomenon is that in which several banking institutions report that they lose a lot of money during physical cash transfer services(Billingsley, et al 2013). This mostly takes place when the security guards vanish with the cash meant to be transported from one bank branch to another.
From a personal point of view, it would be important to appreciate and acknowledge the efforts of these security officers (even though their services come at a price). However, the areas in which they should be allowed to relay their services should be strictly determined to protect the public from the above described scenario(Rowland & Coupe, 2014). Having security guards, for instance, to protect house premises would be a more strategic

Did you know theres so many violent cases where Border Patrol agents or BPA for short, don't even get charged for the awful things they do to migrants. The problem that we need to fix is how Border Patrol agents treat migrants or deal with them. We need to stop Border Patrol brutality because out there are being beat or ending up with injuries because of these abusive agents. First and for most, there are too many cases of migrants being beat by Border Patrol officers without getting any consequences. There was a case where a mans face was stepped on and kneed in the ribs after being handcuffed, the man reported it and the case was looked into but nothing was done.

The “Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights” provide law enforcement officers many of the same rights and privileges of that of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights. The officers require more protection to prevent coercion from internal investigations that they could easily face during their career. The peace officers bill of rights stemmed from officers wanting a little greater safeguard that protects them from “perceived arbitrary infringement of their rights (Peak, Gaines, & Glenson, 2009, p. 246). According to our text, these statutes identify they type of material that must be afforded to the officer, as to their responsibility to cooperate during the investigation, the right to representation, and the rules and procedures concerning the gathering evidence, especially the interrogation of the officer” (Peak et al., 2009, p. 246).
Militarization of police is an important modern concern within the criminal justice discipline. Many argue that the formation of special units within the police department has greatly aided in this militarization of police. These special units, including the Bomb Squad and SWAT Team, may contribute to the increased police force across the United States. Proponents of the militarization believe that police should use what they find suitable to protect the community and themselves from danger. However, opponents maintain that the cost to supply units with equipment is extremely high and that by arming police with military weapons breaks police-community relations.

The second aspect that should be highlighted from the author’s hypothesis is that guards themselves, the authority was in a specific mind-set which comes with the role, and most significantly the uniform which played a major role.

What reinforces this idea the uniforms enabled this is the experiment encouraged negative as well as positive engagement with the prisoners. However most of those involved in the guard roles engaged almost entirely in negative behavior.
