It’s no secret that the line between public and private law enforcement and front line security is getting closer everyday.
Private officers transport prisoners between jail, prison, court, medical facilities and make arrests more frequently than many police agencies.
Security officers guard our nuclear facilities, schools, military installations, airports and more. They’re often the first on the scene of a crime in progress or medical emergency.
Some state statutes recognize private security as having the same law enforcement authority while on duty and on a client’s property as any police officer.

But with these added duties and responsibilities comes the need to work even closer with our local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and to garner mutual respect, cooperation and response agreements.
