Company Police 2
Company Police 2 : United States: These exist in most states in the United States. If they have attended the basic law enforcement officer's training academy in the state in which they work, they may be granted powers of citation, investigation, arrest or detention authority as long as it does not violate state law. Washington DC has SPO commissions for security guards who may need to make minor arrests and they must complete a brief training course. The jurisdiction of company police (Special Police Officers/SPO's) is sometimes limited to the property which they have been hired to protect, however many Company Police officers work in a part-time capacity to supplement the salaries they earn as full-time city police or county officers, thereby granting them city-wide or county-wide jurisdiction if the property they are employed on is located within their respective jurisdiction. North Carolina founded its company police program in the late 1900's to give textile mills and employee villages (housing and company store, offices, etc). internal police protection and the powers of SPO's were strictly constrained by laws to remain only on company property unless in pursuit. In recent decades, rules established by the state attorney general were added and tightened for SPO's and their agencies, including compliance audits, complaint investigation and for-cause revocation of agency or officer status. Most SPO's in NC are full-time SPOs. City, state or county officers who work a second or part-time job as SPO's can not use their additional commission outside SPO powers, because state regulations mandate that they are bound to act in the capacity of the uniform they are wearing. In the majority of the states in the U. S. , actively employed state-certified peace officers, regardless of the capacity in which they are employed (private, public, company, security, campus, etc). , have the ability to pursue and apprehend someone suspected of committing a criminal or violation offense or a felony while on employer or contracted property outside of their normal jurisdiction
