Question: 1 / 400

Can a security officer arrest a person for a traffic violation on their post?

Yes

No

A security officer is generally not authorized to arrest individuals for traffic violations while on duty or at their post. The authority to enforce traffic laws typically resides with law enforcement officers, such as police officers, who have specific training and legal jurisdiction in such matters. Security officers may manage and control traffic on private property (like parking lots) or enforce property rules, but they do not have the same level of legal authority as police officers.

In cases where a traffic violation occurs, a security officer can report the incident to law enforcement, but they should not take it upon themselves to arrest a person for those violations. This distinction is critical to ensure that security officers operate within the legal limits of their role and maintain the safety and rights of individuals involved.
