Though enacted a month ago, the industry is still navigating implementation, with security associations urging staff to wait for training before using arrest powers. The focus remains on de-escalation and safety, not vigilantism. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith backs the law, emphasizing it’s optional and requires immediate police contact after any arrest. Excessive force still carries legal consequences. Police continue to advise: observe, stay safe, and call 111—unless you’re trained and ready to act responsibly.
