If a security officer is a non-commissioned officer, he can carry a baton on duty if he went through a training class.

There are two broad categories of arrest: arrests with a warrant and arrests without a warrant.

There are four different types of warrants that give the police force the power to arrest you:

• Arrest Warrant. First, there’s an arrest warrant.
• Bench Warrant. You can also be arrested on a bench warrant.
• Witness Warrant. A police officer can arrest you on a witness warrant.
• Surety Warrant.

Non-commissioned security officers are prohibited from carrying a firearm while on duty. A security officer who holds an LTC must comply with the above provisions while on duty. This means that while on duty, a non-commissioned security officer cannot possess a handgun.

As a Level 2 Non-commissioned Security Officer you’re allowed to carry the following:

• Flashlight.
• Handcuffs.
• Pepper Spray (if certified)- lots of wrong information being out about OC- ask us we will set you straight.
• Conductive Energy Weapon (license not required but training is highly recommend)
• Stun guns.

Officers can give you direct orders, NCOs can give you legal orders. A legal order is based on established regulations or a direct order from an officer.

An Army sergeant, an Air Force staff sergeant and a Marine corporal are considered NCO ranks. The Navy NCO equivalent, petty officer, is achieved at the rank of petty officer third class. At the E-8 level, the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force have two positions at the same paygrade.

Commissioned officers generally enter the Military with a four-year college degree or greater. In certain cases, enlisted service members can advance and transition to officers during the course of their military career as well. An officer’s education often determines which career he or she will have in the Military.

NCOs are enlisted soldiers with specific skills and duties such as training, recruiting, tech or military policing. The Army refers to them as its “backbone.” Commissioned officers are management. They give NCOs and lower ranks their missions, their assignments and their orders.

According to regulations, yes. However, there comes a certain respect between senior enlisted men and officers, especially if said officer has recently commissioned.

Marine Corps Basic Training Largely considered the toughest basic training program of the United States Armed Forces, Marine training is 12 weeks of physical, mental, and moral transformation. Special attention is given to close combat skills and master marksmanship training (every Marine is a rifleman, after all).
