My
dear friends at the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services,
Today
I interviewed with a company called “(Censored) Security Services” and I feel
their business practices are questionable. For one thing, they stated that they
would employ me as an independent contractor. It is my understanding that a
California state Guard Card does not give me the ability to work in this
capacity and that I would need further permits to do so.
Further,
they stated that I would not be expected to hold any special insurance as an
independent contractor, which I find to be questionable at best. They also
stated that I would be expected to use my powers to arrest for misdemeanors
such as trespassing and vandalism, and that I would be expected to handcuff non
violent perpetrators.
It
is my understanding that the state of California does not recommend the use of Private
Person’s Arrest without the assistance of a Police Officer. The use of handcuffs
should be reserved for the Police unless a subject becomes violent and there is
no other way to subdue them safely.
I
wish to know if these activities and standards are lawful in the state of
California and how I should properly report them if they are not.
With
trust and respect,
Richard
