Re: What is a LEO?
Perot Systems - Armed PPO's NOT POLICE
Grapevine Mills Mall - Certified Security Officers - NOT POLICE
Baylor Health Care System Public Safety - Duly Appointed TCLEOSE Certified Police Officers - THESE ARE COPS - Jurisdiction in at least every city where we have a facility open to the public. They make it a point not to execresize that unless on campus for obvious reasons though.
I will also go out on a limb since I am sure I will get a face full of 000 buck for this but. Where I'm from. Florida officers required no certification whatsoever. Most of them were Ex-Cons. I respected them as human beings, but no more. No Authority, No right to do anything. In fact, while working, their rights were even less so then mine as a general citizen at the time. Their sole job/charter was to observe and report. They do not get involved. Being the way I grew up and all, that mentatility carries over here to Texas. I have many times been approached and "asked/ordered" to do something by mall security guards. In all unreasonable circumstances, my response is a dead panned, "Call a cop" and I walk away.
Police Officers garner the additional respect via governmental authority in my book. Always will...

How about security on the campus of a large corporation?
How about mall security?
