What is States' Rights? How does this affect the hiring and training of security personnel throughout the United States?
-
Currently, there is no federal legislation that regulates the hiring and training of security personnel throughout the United States. This is not a surprising issue. The U.S. government structure was founded on the concept of states' rights. The system of government, established by the U.S. Constitution's Tenth Amendment, recognizes the sovereignty of states where powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people. As such, states can enact laws that serve the needs of their constituents as long as they do not violate the U.S. Constitution–it is their right– while the federal government is limited on what laws it can pass that interferes with those rights the state and its people retain. Because of states' rights, there is limited federal legislation related to the control and regulation of the private security industry at the state and local level.
