Book excerpt: This report of a study based on 30 months of research from 1980-83 documents the accelerated growth of private security resources in the past decade, discusses a fundamental shift of primary protection responsibility from the public to the private sector, and outlines strategies to improve cooperation between police and private security. Research methods included a literature review; interviews with over 400 people in law enforcement and contractual private security; surveys of 1,600 law enforcement and security managers; a survey of State agencies regulating private security; and a market analysis of the private security industry. Field studies were conducted in two urban counties, Multonomah County (Portland), Oregon, and Baltimore County, Maryland. The report presents an overview of street crime, public fear of crime, and economic crimes found in businesses and institutions. It then describes the resources of proprietary and contractual security operations. Areas covered include guard and patrol services, private investigators, alarm companies, armored transportation, and security consulting. The common operating aspects of contract security are identified, as are characteristics of private security personnel. The market analysis of the industry provides detailed baseline data for each major category of security products and services to support the report's contention that private security is a massive potential resource for community crime prevention and control. The report describes the interaction of public and private security forces in terms of frequency and type of contact, exchange of resources and information, cooperative programs, and impediments to relationships. Two problems of national dimensions are highlighted: police moonlighting in security and problems caused by false alarms. This study also examines strategies for upgrading security operations and personnel and assesses the impact of technology on police-private security relations. A concluding summary of the study's findings includes recommendations and a future research agenda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the private security industry employs approximately 1.5 million people and spends over $52 billion annually. In contrast, public police forces employ approximately 600,000 people and spend $30 billion annually. Private policing promises to be a big part of the response to today's increased security concerns, as citizens realize that security is much more than the presence of guards and the perception of safety. This book addresses the impact and implications of private policing on public streets, and begins with a look at private policing from conceptual, historical, economic, legal and functional perspectives. These approaches provide the background for the text, which focuses on a private policing patrol program in a community on the south side of Chicago. The text also demonstrates a number of substantive legal and public policy issues which directly or indirectly relate to the provision of security services; some people see the need for a "dual system" of policing--one for the wealthy and one for the poor--and others see the provision of private security as the primary protective resource in contemporary America. The author also examines how private policing is different from and similar to public policing.
