Security Law & Methods

Security Law is a broad term used to describe a number of substantive areas of the law which go to many legal and public policy matters. The provision of security services has, at its core the inclusion of many legal subjects, including but not limited to: Contracts, Insurance, Civil Rights, Constitutional, Criminal, Employment and Tort law. Each of these legal disciplines relate, often in a significant and unique way, to the issues commonly confronted within the security industry and within corporate America.

Partly because of the broad range of legal subjects covered with the term "Security Law," the answers to concerns raised by crime and misconduct are difficult to obtain. There are numerous questions which illustrate the application of these legal disciplines. For example, under what standards and factual settings are security guards deemed "public actors"? How have courts viewed the application of constitutional protections relative to actions of security providers? Under what circumstances and tests are property and business owners deemed liable for criminal action of third parties? What factors do courts focus on when determining whether a criminal act creates a duty on the part of property and business owners? What affect do contractual provisions, such as indemnification and limitation of liability clauses, have on liability exposure or the application of legal culpability? What particular significance do these clauses have on the provision of security services? What are the legal standards and liability implications for violent acts, such as work place violence and terrorism? What important public policy questions are raised by such violence and its ramifications?

These questions, and many others, are often raised from crime or employee misconduct. These issues and implications were developed in two ground breaking books by Dr. James F. Pastor, entitled The Privatization of Police in America and Security Law and Methods.

While some attorneys are versed on these issues, most do not have the security experience to adequately provide advice and counsel. Indeed, this is the focus of our business. We maintain an extensive array of case law and resources related to current court decisions. Further, we have an intuitive "sense" for security issues, which is based on decades of police, security, and legal work product and experiences. In this way, we focus on this multi-disciplinary subject with a consistent theme: the threat, incident and implications of crime. When you need focused advice for specific security related concerns, we can assist your company with answers related to the following areas:
