    Until the system allows for licensing of security officers, with manditory training, strict guidelines on how to detain for transfer to police.......any form of restraint device is out. Security guards act as an "agent" of their employer, secure the premises/ property, observe, record and call the Guards.....the uniforms and stuff...all phsycological.....fools the "clients" (sorta).... I know it is frustrating for a security officer, and yes a physical tirade might be avoided...but there ya go, thats how it is..

    Was an MP in DF....never used them...also did security work pre-1989.....In Ireland....unless your a sworn officer (with the powers of arrest) Garda Siochana, Airport Police, Harbour Police...Prison Service, and DF Military Police....you don't have the authority to use them....you leave yourself open to lawsuits (and prosecution) for false imprisonment ......might fly in another EU country but not Ireland.....if you feel you need to use handcuffs....become a Police Officer.
    Go ahead and try it....and a free legal aid barrister defending one of those gangster wannabes will show you your hat.....

    Did a 7 year old thread annoy you so much at 3 in the morning that you just had to tell the world about it?
