I know there are a couple of people here who have legal background/experience so I'm hoping for some help (not legal advice, just help finding info). I know that the PILB is the governing body that has authority over security guards in the state of Nevada and that they have specific rules that cover uniform requirements, but I'm having a heck of a time finding specific information online.
Say an armed security guard works for a security company and is posted on a client's property in Clark County where he deals with the public. The guard in question is wearing a metal badge that declares him to hold a specific job for which he is not currently employed (say the badge says something like "Fugitive Recovery Agent" or "Anti Terrorist Task Force," in other words nothing that brands him as a law enforcement officer per se but does misrepresent his current assignment, duties, and authority).
Also he does not wear any item of uniform that specifically uses the words "Security" or "Security Officer." In addition he wears a military pin on his uniform that he may or may not have actually earned while serving in the military, one that is difficult to earn and rarely awarded. Finally, what authority does a private security officer have to demand that a member of the public provide a drivers license or other form of identification?
The PILB does state that a uniformed security officer must wear a uniform approved by the PILB, but I can't find documentation online that covers 1) whether or not the words "Security" or "Security Officer" must be visible, 2) whether or not a badge that misrepresents the current assignment may be worn, 3) the legality of wearing military awards in conjunction with an approved uniform, or 4) the right of a non-law enforcement officer to demand I.D.
Yes, I will check directly with PILB if necessary but I'm hoping in the meantime that someone will know of specific NRS codes or NAC or PILB regulations. Thanks in advance for any help.
