Although private security is now a multi-billion pound industry employing more personnel than the police, it is frequently misunderstood, criticised and insufficiently researched. In a bid to set the record straight, Bruce George MP and Mark Button have collaborated on a book entitled, simply, ‘Private Security’.
Topics covered in this excellent work include the role of the private security industry, the origins of private policing, the reasons behind the industry’s growth in recent years, manned security services, retail and aviation security, the decision makers and the need for regulation.
End users looking to implement security strategies and policies within their own organisations would be well advised to read the book, which is based on original research and years of experience.
