Had a friend who worked “security” at big blue box electronics store. Was a big dude, intimidating. They gave the mandate though. Watch for thieves, but you can’t personally do anything. Liability, insurance.

So one day they had a repeat their. Small time, just Des and things, but my buddy stops him, tells him to get out. Guy pretty much wets himself and leaves. My former was promptly fired. He could have been hurt, went outside of his job.

Moral of the story, never stick your neck out for the company.
