Law

Role, legal powers and clear limits

Connect every intervention to the assignment, legal authority, necessity and proportionality.

A distinct public-order role

Ordningsvakter are trained and appointed by the Police and serve under police leadership. The role is not the same as a security guard, protection guard or police officer.

Powers depend on circumstances

Rejection, removal, temporary detention and safety searches have different conditions. First identify the assignment, observed facts and exact legal basis.

Necessity and proportionality

An action must be needed for the task and reasonable in relation to its purpose. As conditions change, reduce, reassess or end the measure.

Handover and reporting

The intervention does not end with physical control. Safe observation, contact with police and accurate reporting remain part of a lawful sequence.
