Per Penal Code (10)08. Good Samaritan Clause, security personnel have a legal allowance to assist government agents under specific conditions:

• Requested Assistance: Personnel may assist a government worker (Police, EMS, etc.) in carrying out official business only if requested by that worker. Guards must not exceed the powers or authorities of the official they are assisting.

• Aid Under Duress: Personnel may come to the aid of a government worker who is in duress or incapacitated to protect their life or assist in informing other official agents.

• Subordination: Unless a life-safety emergency exists or assistance is requested, security guards must remain subordinate and not interfere with active government operations.
