Local, State, and Federal Laws and Regulations

i.Shopkeeper's or Merchant's Privilege Law: This law empowersmerchants to detain individuals suspected of shoplifting under specific conditions, such as probable cause and limited detention purposes (Witherspoon, 2002).

ii.Use of Force Laws: Organizations must comply with laws governing the use of force during securityoperations. Use of force must be proportionate to the threat posed and limited to non-deadly force in most circumstances (Witherspoon, 2002).

iii.Equal Treatment Laws: Security policies must align with laws prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal treatment for all individuals, regardless of race, color, creed, gender, or national origin (Witherspoon, 2002).

Elements of a Security Policy

i.Purpose and Scope: Clearly define the policy's purpose and the scope of its application within the organization. Thisensures that all employees understand the policy's objectives and applicability.

ii.Roles and Responsibilities: Outline the roles and responsibilities of employees regarding security procedures and compliance(Witherspoon, 2002).Clearly defined roles help ensure accountability and effective implementation of security measures.

iii.Legal Compliance: Explain the local, state, and federal legal requirements for security operations and the organization's level of compliance(Blake,2019). This helps avoid insecuritypolicies leaking when being developed, reducing legal challenges.

iv.Training and Education: Explain the training and education afforded to the employees to foster an understanding of the security policies and practices(Blake,2019). Lack of adequate training is a common issue contributing to the failure to properly implement security measures and reduc

v.e reporting and response. Set up methods of reporting such threats and the measures to be taken against such incidents(Blake,2019). One reason for cultivating a culture of timely reporting and response is to deal with security threats before they harm the company and the people affected by them.

vi.Use of Force Guidelines: Create a policy detailing how much force can be used against citizens and ensure that it meets the reasonable use of force policy for the police force(Blake,2019). These rules keep the police force in check and ensure that the fir-forces operation and usage do not violate any laws.

vii.Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination: Re-emphasize thecontinued policy of equality and non-discrimination in security management. This is beneficial for supporting equality at work and preventing legal problems related to racism.
