Negligent Security & Excessive Force Lawyers in Los Angeles, California

Understanding Negligent or Inadequate Security in Los Angeles

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Los Angeles

Security guards are not peace officers. In Los Angeles, private security personnel have narrow legal rights and may not use unreasonable force.

Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are poorly trained.

Excessive force may include:

• Physical assaults patrons or visitors

• Improper restraints or chokeholds

• Unlawful detention

• Reliance on batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

• Escalating minor disputes into violent encounters

• Restraining individuals without legal authority

Both the individual actor and the security company may be held legally responsible.
