Abstract

A comparison-based analysis of the defense capabilities of the police officer, the armed security guard and the security guard cannot be a novelty in itself, as the legislation is known and available to all professionals. However, it cannot be unnecessary either, because despite all this, many misunderstandings and inaccuracies complicate the everyday life of the profession, which is waiting to be clarified. To clarify, I define the concept of theoretical defense capability and deduce its legal source to the level of the individual. I delimit the rights of defense attached to the individual and the monopoly of force provided by the state, and then, on the basis of this, I examine the rights of the individual and the organizations to take action and use the tools. Based on the conclusions of the investigation, it can be determined in which spectrum of protection the police officer, the armed security guard and the security guard can be used optimally. However, the level of defense ability derived on a theoretical level is realized only in the case of the coexistence of several practical factors, therefore it forms the starting point for further professional research.
