Descriptions and Relations of Law Enforcement and Private Security Sample Clauses

Descriptions and Relations of Law Enforcement and Private Security. Although they possess certain similarities and are in many ways complementary, law enforcement and private security differ in some key respects. Training of law en- forcement officers is substantially more rig- orous than that of security officers. Xxxx- dards and certification are also more demanding in law enforcement than in se- curity. Of course, law enforcement has le- gal powers far exceeding those of private security. On the other hand, private secu- rity has the resources to develop specializa- tions beyond the capacity of most law en- forcement agencies, such as the protection of computer networks, chemical plants, fi- nancial institutions, healthcare institutions, and retail establishments. In several respects, the line between public law enforcement and private security is blurred. Many retired law enforcement offi- cials at the federal, state, and local levels migrate to positions in private security. Some agencies themselves straddle the line. For example, the Amtrak Police De- partment is a private sector police force with over 300 sworn officers. Many college campuses, too, have private sector, sworn police agencies. In addition, many law en- forcement officers work as private security officers in their off-hours. Relations between law enforcement and private security vary considerably. Although the groups have much to offer each other, they are not always confident in each other. For example: • Some police lament the paucity of preemployment screening, training, standards, certification, and regula- tion of security officers. • Some police feel security officers re- ceive insufficient training (particu- larly those who carry weapons). • Some police view security officers as individuals who sought a career in law enforcement but were unable to obtain a position. • Some police see private security as a threat to their domain.
