8.4.1 Apprehension of Persons
This section outlines the procedures and considerations for apprehending individuals who are alleged to have committed an attack against persons or property protected by the organization's security operations. Here are the key points:
-
Legal Context:
-
The organization's operational procedures should clearly describe the legal context under which individuals may be held against their will. This involves understanding the legal framework and requirements for apprehension.
-
Limitations on the Use of Force:
-
The procedures should define the limitations on the use of force during the apprehension process. It's important to ensure that the use of force is proportionate and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Transfer of Custody:
-
The organization's procedures should specify under what circumstances and to whom the organization will transfer custody of the person or persons being held. This ensures a clear and lawful transition of responsibility.
Compliance with these procedures helps ensure that apprehensions are carried out legally and responsibly, with due regard for the rights and safety of all parties involved. It also helps prevent any misuse of force during the apprehension process.
