POWER TO ARREST FINAL EXAM TEST
BANK UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100 PERCENT CORRECT GRADED A
⩥ Security Guard/Proprietary Private Security Officer. Answer: is
assigned to protect specific people and property. This may include
detecting some of the same offenses that would cause a peace officer to
act, such as a fight or burglary. But it would not include other offenses
such as motor vehicle traffic violations or prostitution. This decision is at
the discretion of the security guard's, PPSO's, PI's or ACE's employer.
⩥ Fact. Answer: what has actually happened, or is known to be true.
⩥ Conclusion. Answer: a judgement or opinion formed as a result of the
facts.
⩥ Inspection. Answer: this is not a search. Always make sure the
employer has notified the employees first. Such inspections are often
conducted at the end of the work day by looking into employees' cars,
lunch pails, purses, or tote bags to make sure unauthorized items are not
being taken off the premises.
,⩥ Arrest. Answer: a form of lawful control by one person over the
actions or movements of another. An arrest is taking a person into
custody IN A CASE and IN THE MANNER authorized by law. An
arrest may be made by a peace officer or a private person (citizen's
arrest).
⩥ Criminal Liability. Answer: criminal penalties that can be imposed for
a wrongful act. For example, carrying a loaded weapon concealed in
your jacket is a violation of the Penal Code; the criminal penalty for the
offense is a fine or jail sentence or both.
⩥ Intimidation. Answer: threatening physical harm or otherwise
frightening people when they do not cooperate or confess to a crime.
⩥ Excessive Physical Force. Answer: where an arrest is made, the law
allows only the use of physical force, which is reasonable or necessary
to restrain the suspect if he/she is resisting, in order to make the arrest.
Where more force is used than that which the law allows, the arresting
party is said to be using "excessive force" and may be held criminally as
well as civilly liable.
⩥ Infractions. Answer: offenses that are punishable only by a modest
monetary fine. There is normally no jail sentence imposed for
committing an offense, which is defined as an infraction, and the person
committing the offense is normally cited at the scene in a fashion similar
to the issuance of a traffic citation.
, ⩥ Misdemeanors. Answer: misdemeanors are offenses that are
punishable by a fine and/or term in the county jail. The following two
conditions must exist in order for you to arrest a person on a
misdemeanor charge: (1) The misdemeanor must have been attempted or
committed and (2) It must have taken place (happened) in your presence.
⩥ Felony. Answer: a more serious offense that is punishable by a
sentence of death, imprisonment in a jail or prison, and/or a fine. The
following two conditions must exist in order to arrest a person on a
felony charge: (1) The felony must have been committed and (2) A
reasonable cause must exist to believe that the person being arrested
actually committed the crime. Such reasonable cause must be based on
evidence linking the person to the crime. Examples of such evidence
may include physical evidence such as articles of clothing belonging to
the suspect and left at the scene of the crime, or testimonial evidence
such as observations by the security guard/proprietary private security
officer or by other persons which are told to the security
guard/proprietary private security officer in which the suspect was
observed committing the crime.
⩥ Detainment. Answer: a person who voluntarily responds to
questioning and is not actually restrained (i.e., free to go at any time) is
considered to be detained. A person may be detained by the police for
further questioning in an investigation, and that person is not necessarily
under arrest.
⩥ Frisk. Answer: a quick check to see if a suspect has a concealed
weapon. This should occur after the suspect is arrested.
