The policy appears well thought out and solid. One issue that I would raise however is the exception granted for security personnel. It is unrealistic to authorize the carrying of a weapon and then indicate that its use must also be authorized by the same authority. The realistic approach is to establish "Rules of Use" (or Engagement) for the security personnel since there would seldom, if ever, be time to obtain approval for use if the security officer is to perform his protective duties in most situations.

Well written but lacks a exemption for LEOs unless you would want to eexclude them as well.
