Question 29

Arrest Proceedure

Answer 29

My name is (?) and I work for COMPANY on behalf of CLIENT.
(Show your Security Licence, but use the word ID)
(#)
You are under arrest for (?) but always go for the lesser offence, as it is easier to prove.
1 am going to ask you some questions. You don’t have to say or do anything if you don’t want to.
Do you understand that? (Note response, word for word)
I/we will record what you say or do and I/we can use this recording in court. Do you understand that? (Note response, word for word)
I’m informing you that I/we will record this interaction and you need to know that This recording will use both video and audio. Do I have your consent? (POINT, Sydney Trains Body Cams don’t record audio, so we place this warning here, if you are using Stealth Corp Body Cams, you will place this warning where I have placed the hash symbol above)
Remind the person/s that they are not free to leave and if they attempt to leave they may be stopped. (DON’T do this if you are by yourself. If you are a dog handler, this is where you mention the dog is their for your protection and if they attempt to run, the dog MAY take it as a sign of aggression. DON’T elaborate on that point, let it simmer in the crooks head.)
Ask some questions, What’s your name? Where you from? This will lead into obtaining ID.
This is where we play word games along with associated body language. Do you have any ID on you? Right at the point they answer yes, we signal them with a sign of (Show me it) you can also answer really quickly, “Give us a look, show me it, etc. BUT NOT “Show me your ID.”
Once ID is given, your Arrest is complete. If they do not give you or they don’t have any on them, then we move into asking and recording at the same time their details in your notebook.
However, before you write, you give them an ‘informed Warning’ which refers to Trespassing.
It sounds like “I must inform you, as a representative of this property, it is an offence to provide me with false particulars.” (If they ask legislation, tell them it’s under the Enclosed Lands Protection Act)
Then record the POls details and any property found upon the person in your notebook.
