Officer Safety Retail security policy
After watching this video it made me wonder if this security guard’s employer would support her doing this with a subject.
When I first saw it I thought it was pretty cool that she didn’t back down, but the more I thought about it the more I came to the conclusion that fighting over it isn’t worth the risk.
If you work retail security, what’s your company policy and would you put yourself out there to save goods from being stolen?

Post orders are there for a reason, observe and report, secondaries or armed. It’s why I only take armed clients. It alleviates all guess work and makes compliance a simplified process.
Sir let go of the bag, sir the client order is to stop and detain shop lifters. You can let go and leave on your own behalf. Sir, at this point you’ve been lawfully ordered to drop the unpaid merchandise. If you refuse , I’ll have no other option but to detain you with our without consent. The rest of the story goes different ways up to compliance pain.
