Abstract
This study investigated the nature and degree of state level statutory regulation for private police and security guards with a specific intent to analyze arrest powers for these agents. Previous literature has examined statutory regulation, but has ignored any discussion of arrest powers for private law enforcement and security agents. A content analysis on applicable state laws explorers the type, nature, and degree of statutory regulation. Results indicate some measure of similarity among regulation between states. Only one state, Ohio, allows private police full arrest powers.
