True or False: An individual with a valid security license may carry and use restraining devices even if they have not completed BST.

The statement is false. Carrying and using restraining devices typically requires not only a valid security license but also specific training regarding their use, which is often covered in a Basic Security Training (BST) program. This training ensures that individuals understand the legal and ethical implications, appropriate techniques, and safety protocols associated with the use of such devices.

While a valid security license indicates a baseline level of knowledge and authorization, it does not imply that a person is equipped to use restraining devices without the proper training. The necessity of BST or equivalent training serves to protect both the security professional and the individuals they may need to restrain, ensuring that all actions taken are done legally, ethically, and safely. Thus, the correct understanding is that without completing the necessary training, even a licensed security professional cannot legally carry and use these devices.
