ACT 235 Question
Hi everyone,
Pardon me if this is in the wrong section.
I am looking to pursue my Act 235 certification for a position in Pittsburgh,PA. The position is as a Hospital Police Officer, the position states I can be eligible with an ACT 235 cert and a year of security/law enforcement. My question is that with ACT 235, how are some officers there able to operate as law enforcement? Is it just a title?

Re: ACT 235 Question
No, they're Act 120 qualified and are actual law enforcement, with full arrest authority and all that stuff.

Re: ACT 235 Question
An agency with full police powers will require Act 120. Look into Allegheny County's police academy, or CCBC's.

Re: ACT 235 Question
Act 235 only gives you the arrest powers of a civilian, meaning that you can only arrest someone that commits a felony that you personally witness. I say this because I have my Act 235 and have been working as an armed security officer for the past two years.

Re: ACT 235 Question
the Hospital is probably a non profit and is operating under this section of Pa law.

Re: ACT 235 Question
The local hospital in my area will hire with ACT235 and you have to agree to obtain your ACT120 within a year of employment.
