Legal Context of Security

Man instinctively protects himself and those he holds dear (may it be


property, freedom or loved – ones) from danger or threat, with or without help from
others. This is the supreme law—the law of self- preservations.

Universal Declarations of Human Rights

The universal declarations of human rights, which was adopted by the United Nations on
10 December 1948, guarantees such instinct to protect in article 3, which states that“everyone
has the right to life, liberty and security of persons” (United Nations, 1948, emphasis supplied.)

The international covenant on civil in political rights, a multilateral treaty also adopted by
the United Nations on 16 December 1966, further recognized this rights to security of person in
article 9 (1). Which states that: “Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one
shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall deprived of his liberty except on
such grounds in accordance with such procedure as are established by law” (United Nations
Human Rights1966).

Constitutional Mandates

1987 Philippine Constitution enunciates the first and foremost duty of the government
which is to serve and protect the people.

1|LEA 103
Article II, section 4 - The prime duty of the government is to serve and protect people.
The government may call upon the people to defend the state and, in the fulfilment thereof, all
citizen may be required by law to render military or civilian service
.

Article II, section 5 The maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and
property and the promotion of general welfare are essential for the enjoyment by all people of
the blessings of the democracy.

Article 3, section 1 No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, and property without due
process of law, nor shall a person be denied the equal protection of laws.

Article 3, section 2 The right of people to be secured in their persons, houses and
papers, and the effects of unreasonable searches and seizures of whatever nature and for any
purpose shall be inviolable and no search warrant or warrant of arrest shall be issued upon
determination of probable cause to be determine personally by the judge after examination
under oath or affirmation of the complainant and the witnesses he may produce, and particularly
describing the
place to be search and persons or thing to be seized.

Statutory Mandates

Act 3815 (revised penal code (RPC), as amended). The RPC also insure security and
safety of the people by prohibiting and penalizing certain acts such as: Crimes against the
fundamental law of the state (arbitrary detention, delaying release, expulsion, violation of
domicile etc.), crimes against persons (Parricide, murder, Homicide, physical injuries etc.),
crimes against personal liberty and security (kidnapping and illegal detention, unlawful arrest,
etc.), crimes against property (robbery, theft, etc.)

Private Security Agency Law ( RA 5487 as amended) Republic Act No. 5487 or "An Act
to Regulate the Organization and Operation of Private Detective,Watchmen or Security Guards
Agencies," is amended by Presidential Decree No. 11 on October 3, 1972. In this particular law,
the security guards, watchmen, private detectives and the security officers are considered as
force multipliers of the Philippine National Police (PNP) because of the role they play in times of
disaster or calamities. The chief of the PNP or the mayor of a certain municipality or city may
deputize them to assist the PNP in the performance of the police duties for the duration of such
emergency disaster or calamity.

Private security personnel „are called Protection Specialists because in the present
concept, the law enforcement and crime prevention are not solely charged to the PNP. The five-
pillar concept in criminal justice system calls for the involvement of the private sector and the
community to which much of the success of law enforcement depends. Private security forces
play a vital role
in this regard as they are a potent force in crime prevention. They have contributed to the
improvement of peace and order and the protection of lives and properties in all areas of the
country.

The scope of the law covers originally promulgated and newly introduced rules and
regulations designed to professionalize the security industry. Revisions were made to make the
security business a more credible and reliable sector in our country. New provisions include the
rule on the utilization of security personnel in certain types of services. The training program for
private security personnel was also expanded in order to develop skills and knowledge suitable
to current and future applications.

1919 amended further The Private Security Agency Law on April 28, 1984 with the following
changes:

b. Specifying the employment of a minimum of 200 and a maximum of I,000 licensed

c. Specifying 30 to 1,000 company guards for company guard forces.

operation business and activities of private detectives/ watchmen, or security guard agencies.

a watchman or security guard, watchman or security guard agency, section 4 , specifying
person who may organize a security or watchmen agency, and section 18

History And Overview of Security


The word secure is derived from the Latin securus which means ‘’safe’’ or ‘’without care’’
or from se cura, wherein se means “free from” and cura means“care”.

Related Concepts

Understanding the concept of security requires further definition of other related


concepts such as asset, risk, threat and vulnerability.

Asset is anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to


produced value. If it has positive economic value it is considered an asset. Or more simply, if its
value can be converted into cash. e.g.

Risk is the uncertainty of financial loss, the probability that a loss has occurred or
will occur, or the possible occurrence of an undesirable event. The end results of risk is loss or a
decrease in value. e.g. lost of life of your love once.

4|LEA 103
Threat is anything that could adversely affect assets; it can be classified into natural
hazards (such as floods), accidents (chemical spills), or intentional acts (domestic or
international terrorism).

Vulnerability means weakness, flaw, or virtually anything that may conceivably be


exploited by a threat; examples are holes in a fence, an out –of-date key system or the
introduction of a computer virus.

Types of Security Guards

1. Government Contract Security Guards

Security guards that are hired by the government are often highly trained and armed.
These security guards will be deployed to protect, secure, and defend government employees
and property. These types of security guards can work in a variety of settings.

Their primary responsibility is to secure a specific site or facility, such as courthouses or


military command centres. If a high-risk situation arises, they may be called upon to defend
personnel and property.

In addition to the standard abilities necessary in the sector, Government Security Guards
must have a “clean” criminal record before being hired. Those with criminal records are
frequently ruled out as prospective candidates.

2. In-House Security Guards

In house security guards are personally hired by companies to work for them. They are
not contracted through a private security agency. These security guards are paid by and report
to the companies that hire them and operate under that company’s expectations.

Even though many countries prohibit internal security recruitment, certain firms continue
to hire and are permitted to hire in-house security officers.

These types of security guards have a wide range of opportunities for employing including.
• Armoured Guards
• Bank
• Hospital and Medical facility
• Cruise Ship
• Information Security industries.
• Hotel and Resort
• Nightclub Bouncers
• Museums

3. Contract Security Guards

This is the most common category of security guards. Private contract security guards
are hired by private security agencies. Clients hire a security agency, which provides security
guards that best fits the client’s needs.

Private Security Guard Options

11 | L E A 1 0 3
When a company hires the services of a private security firm, they have various
alternatives. Most security firms will offer some or all the following security guard services:

1. Unarmed Security

Security guards who don’t carry guns or any other weapons are called unarmed security
guards. They are physically present on a property or business. They patrol every location,
monitor the security systems, and respond to threats very quickly and efficiently. Not having
guns doesn’t make the guards less valuable, their presence alone is enough to deter criminals
or trespassers. Unarmed security guard’s tasks involve surveillance, patrolling, access control,
policy enforcement, crowd control, searching and general crime deterrent. More than 80% of the
world’s security personnel conduct unarmed security tasks.

2. Armed Security

Armed security service is needed for locations that need a tougher security service.
Armed security guards are popularly used in high-threat environments where an individual’s life
is in danger or if the business or property is located in a high crime area.

They carry lethal weapons and probably small firearms on the job site. They have to
undergo additional training and state-mandated firearms certification to receive an armed guard
license to legally carry a firearm. Armed security guards are often ex-military or law enforcement
officers because they know about operating the firearm. Typically, armed security guards are
hired by companies that deal with valuable products or services.

3. Bodyguards

These are the personal security officers who are assigned to protect a person. They are
used for securing the lives of HNIs, dignitaries, celebrities, and other VIPs such as politicians.
These guards are generally well-armed and highly trained. They are also referred as to personal
protection agents.

4. Video Surveillance Operator

Private security firms train their employees in video surveillance tactics and equipment
before sending them to the client’s location. The operator may collaborate with other security
guards to evaluate camera footage, conduct surveillance, and monitor the situation. Many
businesses install surveillance cameras around the outside and within the facility to keep an eye
on illegal activity.

The CCTV operation, which mostly requires monitoring activities, operates in a low-risk
environment, but it must notice a major incident that influences the organization’s operations.

5. Patrol Guards

Mobile patrol security guards patrol your office and home premises on a dedicated
vehicle day and night to check any suspicious activity or threat. Mobile patrols are not a
constant presence. They patrol at scheduled times and emergency calls. Shergroup’s patrol
guards are governed by a security tagging system to log times and dates of when the patrolling
guards have monitored particular areas of the grounds. You can hire a permanent security

12 | L E A 1 0 3
patrol guard/unit to patrol your property at all hours of the day and night, or you can hire a
mobile patrol unit to visit your selected location at predetermined intervals on predetermined
days.

6. Event Security Guards

Event Security Guards are undoubtedly the most well-known in the profession due to
their high visibility. They’re mostly in charge of crowd control and maintaining order at events
such as concerts, sporting events, and professional conferences.

Event Security Guard’s responsibilities also include ensuring that attendees are
only in areas where they are permitted and are not bringing forbidden things into the
venue. They may be summoned to prevent or break up physical fights, particularly
during occasions with a lot of alcohol or where emotions are running high.

Types of Security
1. Physical Security - the most broad.
2. Industrial Security - security of business installations and industrial plants.
3. VIP Security - protection of high level officers and important personnel.
4. Bank Security - security of money and assets stored or in transit.
5. Hotel Security - security for hotel guest and their personal belongings and property as well
as properties of the hotel.
6. Document security - protection of vital records from loss or unauthorized access.
7. Communication Security - measures to prevent or delay the unauthorized person in
gaining information through communication.
