Preferred term

private security  

Definition(s)

  • Many urban neighborhoods have large and very visible populations of the homeless, substance abusers, persons with mental illness, unruly groups of adolescents, and aggressive panhandlers. While police historically managed these individuals, this task is increasingly becoming the responsibility of private security officers.
