Legal Question in Securities Law in Utah

Hi i have been gaurding a exit door for almost a year now.

This job dosn't require getting sertified as a securty gaurd. (I've been trying to talk to my boss about it)

Usally when i tell people to go out and use the front door, they will have a 30sec argue and they usually just give up and walk to the front door.

I do get costomers/people who sneak in that try to egnore me and walk past me but i get in their way and ask them to leave.

I have never shouted at a customer beacause it "disturbs the peace" but if the customer/people who try to sneak in starts to yell could i call 911 and possibly get them kicked out?

so my ultimate question is if i stay as a non-sertified security gaurd then what are the do's and don'ts

and if i get sertified as a security gaurd what advatages does that give me?

please email me @ [email protected]

thank you for reading, your thoughts, suggestion and help will be more than welcome.

You can always call 911, but should talk to your employer about any limits on your responsibility. Your employer is responsible for your actions, and the employer should be interested in making sure you have the proper training.
