DO PRIVATE SECURITY OFFICERS NEED ADDITIONAL LEGAL POWERS TO HELP POLICE REDUCE CRIME IN GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA?
South African Crime Quarterly ( IF 0.2 ) Pub Date : 2017-09-29 , DOI: 10.17159/2413-3108/2018/v0n61a2006

There is a need for different stakeholders to work together to help the police combat crime in Gauteng, South Africa. Private security officers are usually well positioned to help combat crime because they can witness crime in areas where they are posted or are patrolling as response officers. Private security officers protect organisations (public and private) or individuals who are their paying clients. But they can only perform their duty as ordinary citizens, not as the police would. In looking at how these officers can be more effective, this article establishes to what extent private security officers need additional legal powers, and what powers would be suitable for them in helping the police combat crime. Mixed methods were used in this study of 20 police stations and 20 private security companies in Gauteng. From top management levels in the South African Police Service (SAPS), 37 high-ranking police officers participated in the study and 30 high-ranking security officers from top management level of the private security industry (PSI). At the operational levels, 173 SAPS officers completed the questionnaires and 163 PSI officers. The findings show that the majority of respondents see no need for private security officers to be given additional powers to help the police combat crime. However, the few respondents who supported the idea think that the power to arrest, and stop and search the public, should be given to private security personnel. At the operational level, all respondents agreed that private security officers should be given additional legal powers to help the police combat crime. :

私人保安人员是否需要其他法律权力来帮助警察减少南非高登市的犯罪行为?

有必要让不同的利益相关者共同努力,以帮助警察打击南非豪登省的犯罪。私人保安人员通常可以很好地协助打击犯罪,因为他们可以在被派遣或作为响应人员巡逻的地区目睹犯罪。私人保安人员保护其付费客户的组织(公共和私人)或个人。但是他们只能以普通公民的身份履行职责,而不能像警察那样履行职责。在研究这些警官如何提高效率时,本文确定了私人警卫在多大程度上需要更多的法律权力,以及哪种权力适合他们帮助警察打击犯罪。在这项研究中,豪登省的20个派出所和20个私人保安公司采用了混合方法。在南非警察局(SAPS)的高层管理人员中,有37名高级警官参加了研究,在私人安全行业(PSI)的高层管理人员中有30名高级警卫人员参加了研究。在业务层面,有173名SAPS人员完成了调查问卷,并有163名PSI人员完成了调查问卷。调查结果表明,大多数受访者认为不需要给私人治安官额外的权力来帮助警察打击犯罪。但是,少数支持该想法的被调查者认为,应该将逮捕,制止和搜查公众的权力赋予私人保安人员。在业务层面,所有受访者都同意应赋予私人安全官更多法律权力,以帮助警察打击犯罪。:来自私人安全行业(PSI)最高管理层的37位高级警官和30位高级安全官参加了研究。在业务层面,有173名SAPS人员完成了调查问卷,并有163名PSI人员完成了调查问卷。调查结果表明,大多数受访者认为不需要给私人治安官额外的权力来帮助警察打击犯罪。但是,少数支持该想法的被调查者认为,应该将逮捕,制止和搜查公众的权力赋予私人保安人员。在业务层面,所有受访者都同意应赋予私人安全官更多法律权力,以帮助警察打击犯罪。:来自私人安全行业(PSI)最高管理层的37位高级警官和30位高级安全官参加了研究。在业务层面,有173名SAPS人员完成了调查问卷,并有163名PSI人员完成了调查问卷。调查结果表明,大多数受访者认为不需要给私人治安官额外的权力来帮助警察打击犯罪。但是,少数支持该想法的被调查者认为,应该将逮捕,制止和搜查公众的权力赋予私人保安人员。在业务层面,所有受访者都同意应赋予私人安全官更多法律权力,以帮助警察打击犯罪。:
