Contrast the current deployment of private security personnel with the number of public law enforcement personnel

What will be an ideal response?


Private protective services have had an incredible impact on law enforcement and safety in America. More people are employed in private security than in all local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. It is estimated that there are nearly 2 million people working in private security and probably about 1 million working in public law enforcement. This gap will increase as it is anticipated that the number of people employed in private security will increase at a faster rate compared to the number in public law enforcement. An interesting development is the increasing collaborations that are occurring in the public–private arena.
