I don't think that those types of security guards are appropriate for a public transit system. If people see security guards in this type of location, they expect assistance from them.
I agree.
The fact is most security guards you see in most areas are not allowed to touch you no matter what. They are there for pure determent and reporting and are only allowed to observe, report, and hope you don't leave before the cops arrive.
The expectations are under cover private/company security that have been licensed by the sheriff's office to legally detain individuals. I worked undercover security at Target, Macy's, and Nordstrom through my late teens early twenties. Fun gig.
