Which of the following would not be a “Peace Officer”?

Police
Custom Officer
Special Constable
Security Guard

The correct answer is: Security Guard

A security guard would not be categorized as a "Peace Officer" because peace officers are typically individuals who have been given authority by law to enforce laws, maintain public peace, and perform various duties related to law enforcement. This includes police officers, customs officers, and special constables, all of whom have specific roles defined by legislation or organizational authority that grants them powers such as arrest, search, and seizure within their jurisdiction. In contrast, security guards primarily provide private security services and may not possess the same legal authority as peace officers. Their role is focused on protecting property and individuals within a defined area, often operating under the regulations set by private organizations rather than by public law enforcement standards.
