- immediate and serious injury to a person or property
- a loss of business profits
- minor embarrassment

Section 27 allows as much force as is reasonably necessary to prevent an arrestable offence likely to cause immediate and serious injury to anyone's person or property.

- Post the person's photo on social media

Observing and reporting is the core of the job. Rushing in can put the guard and others in danger, and there may not yet be grounds for an arrest.
Question 25 sur 25
Why does a visible, uniformed guard help prevent crime?
- The law makes crimes near a guard more serious
- Guards can give fines to anyone nearby
- People are less likely to commit a crime when they think someone is watching
- A uniform gives a guard police powers
Voir la réponse
Réponse: C. People are less likely to commit a crime when they think someone is watching
This is deterrence. A guard who is seen and alert makes a site a less attractive target.
