SECTION A
QUESTION 1
Briefly explain when a security official can rely on “private defense”. Provide an
example in support of your answer.
Private Defense
Private defense refers to the legal concept that allows individuals or security officials to
take reasonable actions to protect themselves or others from imminent harm. This
typically includes defensive measures taken when there is a direct threat, provided the
response is proportionate to the threat faced.
According to the study guide, a security official can rely on "private defense" when
faced with an unlawful attack that threatens their life, bodily integrity, property, or the
safety of others. This defensive action is considered lawful even if it involves the use of
force, including potentially deadly force, to repel the attack. The key conditions for
private defense are that the attack must be imminent or already in progress, and the
defensive action must be necessary to prevent harm.
For instance, if a security official is patrolling a facility and encounters an individual who
is actively breaking into a secured area with the intent to commit theft, the security
official may use reasonable force to stop the intruder. If the intruder displays a weapon
or demonstrates a clear threat to the security official's safety or that of others, the
security official can escalate their response as needed, including the use of deadly
force, to protect themselves and prevent the crime.
