Will the community explain the difference between Police and Security Guards

OK, there is a discussion in which it is being said that private security guards are in fact, police officers. And that anyone who patrols, or polices, an area, is also a police officer. I am confused by this, so maybe I'm missing out on a concept or something.

    Whoever said that is mentally deficient. Really, comparing a rent-a-cop to an actual police officer is an embarrassment to police officers. Edit: Also, policing the mall on a segwey is so OP, lol

        Police are the public sector security (governmental), and security guards are private sector (superstores, museums, what have you). I guess it depends on what they are guarding to have the ability to arrest. It gets more confusing when you add Community Officers (which can only perform a citizens arrest or detain you and depending on where you are in the UK, might not even have handcuffs to arrest you).

      • I'm not sure if a citizen's arrest counts as an actual law enforcement arrest.

      • Security guards don't have the authority to arrest.

        • Pretty sure police work for the state and can make arrests.

              Don't bother Charlie. You're right but Camnator won't see reason. Even if the rest of the public sides with you and calls him out, he's like Cartman from South Park: He will go through the most insane mental gymnastics to remain "right" and "correct"
