Person Screening for Security

Person screening is mainly and most often carried out by public officials of the police, public order office, customs and more. They may carry out the check against the will of the person. Person screening generally serves to establish identity. A person check for identification can also be carried out by non-officials, that is by security staff. Yet the check by a security employee is always voluntary and is a condition for being admitted to security areas. There are no powers or special rights that allow acting like a public official.

Which Security Equipment? | Security Accessories
