“Private security is one of the fastest growing service industries in Canada. The responsibility to protect employees and organizational assets is becoming less of a public law enforcement responsibility; companies are beginning to share this challenge. Hence, private and public corporations have turned to private security to help develop security programs.
Police forces across North America are starting to realize that private security is a viable partner in crime prevention.
The late eighties and nineties have been difficult times for police organizations in terms of balancing the budget. Police service manpower shortages are part of the reason private security has grown at such a remarkable rate. According to the well publicized Hallcrest Report on private policing in North America, there are three private security employees to every one public law enforcement professional.
This condition is leading to new employment opportunities for men and women who are seeking a rewarding career. New companies are being created; responding to free enterprise supply and demand. Security service, alarms, investigations, consulting and services designed to protect people and property are experiencing unprecedented growth.
The news is not all good, however. Many private security employers have failed to recognize the importance of their responsibilities. Fast growth has resulted in hiring binges equating to inadequate screening, training and employment benefits. Hence there is often high turnover. New employees with huge responsibility and minimal training are a bad combination.
