Abstract
This article represents a continuation of the article with the same title published in the journal "Sigurnost" no. 1 from March 2012. It describes the powers of persons performing private security duties, such as checking the identity of persons, giving warning and orders and searching persons, objects and means of transportation. This paper describes five out of a total of eight powers: securing the crime scene, temporary restriction of the freedom of movement, use of guard dogs, use of physical force and use of firearms. In addition to the legal background and description of tactics in application of the listed powers, the article offers a review of the shortcomings of current legislation relating to the powers of persons performing private security, specifically the use of powers which include means of coercion.
