Public Policing Versus Private Security
The existence of security in the world brought happiness to mankind because men choose pleasure over pain (Ortmeier, 2008, p. 4.).However, without some measures of security man would not live in peace and the war of all against all (crime) would inundate the entire world. Public policing and private security have several distinct differences. Public policing is the ability to enforce the law and maintain order in society. Private securities are paid agencies that perform the protective and loss-prevention duties not handled by police officers. Equally important, public policing and private security offers the same services and duties. These services and duties are performed to achieve the same goal. However, both serve as leaders in their line of work, and the leadership requirements are regulated by two different standards (Ortmeier, 2008, p. 23). They both share a positive relationship with the criminal justice system. This relationship could be enhanced if the two would partnership with one another. This could help them combine their essential policies for the current role they perform. Public policing and private security will continue to grow and work together for the interest of the criminal justice system. In this paper will compare and contrast the roles of private security and public policing, the differences between the leadership roles, their connection with the criminal justice systems. The paper will also cover the essential policies for public policing and private security, and the description of a comprehensive security plan, and its key components. Public policing is the ability to enforce the law and maintain order in society. Private securities are paid agencies that perform the protective and loss-prevention duties not handled by police officers.
