In a recent article published in Security Magazine, Law Enforcement Versus Private Security in the United States, shows the high demand for security guards.
Private security officers have more authority on private property than the police. The duty of a private security officer is to represent the owner, whereas the police officer works for and represents the county, city or state and not the property owner. Since private security officers do not have a pension and other city, state or county-based benefits, there is more of a cost benefit to having private security than law enforcement. Insurance is also an issue. Will the city, county or state agency cover all liabilities for an off-duty officer working on a private property? Private security companies have certificates of insurance (COI) naming their clients as the certificate holders, which offers a layer of protection against civil or criminal suits.
According to U.S. labor statistics, there are over 1.1 million private security guards in the U.S. compared to 666,000 police officers. If we look at this globally, it still shows a trend of needing more private security firms than law enforcement officers.
