A licensed security professional may be required to conduct physical searches but only if:

  1. There is a warrant

  2. They have obtained 'consent' from the person

  3. There is significant reason

  4. They are accompanied by the police

The correct answer is: They have obtained 'consent' from the person

A While a warrant may not always be necessary, a licensed security professional may still need to obtain consent in order to conduct a physical search in certain situations. C: A "significant reason" may not be enough justification to conduct a physical search. The security professional must still obtain consent in order to do so. D: A licensed security professional may not be required to be accompanied by the police in order to conduct a physical search. They may still do so if they have obtained consent from the person. A licensed security professional may be required to conduct physical searches if they have obtained 'consent' from the person. While a warrant is not always necessary, it is important for security professionals to obtain consent from the individual before conducting a physical search. A "significant reason" may not be sufficient justification for a physical search, and the security professional must still obtain consent.
