Inadequate Security Attorneys in Santa Ana, California

What Is Negligent or Inadequate Security in Santa Ana

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Santa Ana

Security guards are not police officers. In Santa Ana, private security personnel have restricted powers 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

• Dangerous restraints or chokeholds

• Over-detention

• Use of batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

• Escalating minor disputes into violent encounters

• Detaining individuals without legal authority

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