Scenario #1: 

You are a uniform police officer and you receive a radio call to the Walmart store at 345 Main Street. 

When you arrive on scene, you speak with the store security officer who advises you that he saw a 

suspicious male in the store who kept looking around to see where the security cameras were. The 

security officer approached the male and asked him to identify himself. The male then pushed the 

security officer and ran out of the store. The security officer tackled the man to the ground, arrested him 

and advised him of his rights. A search of the male revealed that he hadn’t stolen anything from the 

store.
