Private guards may only take up their duties after taking an oath before the judicial court within whose jurisdiction the territory to be guarded or one of them is located, at the seat of that court or, where applicable, of one of its local chambers.
The wording of the oath is as follows: “I swear and promise to perform my duties well and loyally and to observe in everything the duties they impose on me. I also swear not to reveal or use anything brought to my knowledge in the performance of my duties. “
The oath is recorded on the accreditation card by the clerk of the court receiving the oath.
