Office of the Attorney General September 18, 2014 2014 WL 5350498 (Miss.A.G.) Office of the Attorney General State of Mississippi.1 Opinion No. 2013-00480.1 September 18, 2014 Re: Security Guards.1 Paul B. Watkins, Jr., Esq.1 Attorney.1 City of Oxford.1 Post Office Box 1456.1 Oxford, Mississippi 38655 Dear Mr.
Watkins:.1 Attorney General Jim Hood has received your request for an opinion and has assigned it to me for research and response. Issues Presented.1 You inquire as to the authority of a municipality to impose insurance requirements on establishments that employ security guards and to require such security guards to undergo safety and security training. Specifically, you provide the following:.1 I represent the City of Oxford.
Recently, the Oxford Police Department has noticed an increase in the number of private guards at bars and nightclubs who openly carry firearms in the course and scope of their employment. These private security guards are employed to, among other things, manage crowd control, break up altercations between patrons, and eject potentially intoxicated and/or disorderly individuals from their employers’ premises – in essence, to police the premises.
The Police Department is concerned that these individuals might not be properly trained to deal with these issues, particularly while carrying firearms, and that this lack of training represents a serious safety issue.1 We are also aware of Miss. Section 97-37-7, as well as your opinions to A.A. McCullen (July 22, 1992) and Greg Stewart (February 25, 1994).
