What could be a reason for a SP getting sued in civil court?

A security personnel (SP) may face litigation in civil court primarily due to improper conduct. This encompasses actions that violate legal standards or protocols, leading to harm or damage to individuals or property. Improper conduct could include excessive force, negligence in performing duties, or a failure to adhere to established guidelines, which can result in liability for any resulting injuries or losses.

In contrast, following protocol correctly, preventing an offense, and assisting in a situation are generally actions that align with the responsibilities of security personnel and are unlikely to result in lawsuits. These actions are designed to ensure safety and compliance with the law, serving the overall purpose of the SP's role. Therefore, it is the breach of professional conduct that can expose a security personnel to civil court actions.
