What an unarmed officer can and cannot do
An LDG unarmed officer is a private security officer, not law enforcement. The officer controls access under your rules, deters problems by being visible, helps residents and visitors, and documents incidents. When something needs a law enforcement response, the officer calls for it and stays on post.
