description | In the past decades it is evident that the modern mega trends: globalization,
urbanization, digitalization etc., and the new forms of security risks and threats had influenced
and moderated the organization of state security. The increasing security risks driven by
natural and geopolitical calamities have increased the role of private security services, vis à
vis state security. Private security companies are recognized as a relevant non-state security
actor and, active participant to complement the traditional (state) security constituents in
providing security. Moreover, private security employees are part of the security continuum
who have always complimented state security efforts, and this has become particularly the
case in the wake of the Covid-19 global pandemic, where PSS workers have stepped up, as
frontline workers, to guarantee public safety and health. Private security provides security
of individuals and property at private and commercial buildings, public spaces, events and
provides protection of critical infrastructure. However, aiming at efficient and effective use of
the full potential of the private security sector there still is a clear need for determination of
the quality criteria for the private security that will consider both, the security concept and
the corporate concept of the private security companies providing services and of companies’
withe in-house security.
Hence, the main tendency of this article is to elaborate on the significance of defining quality
criteria for the private security sector. The theoretical explication will cover the wider concept
of private security with the definition of terms and meaning and current state in practice
The main focus will be to analysis of the quality criteria for the private security identified by
the Confederation of European Private Security Services (CoESS) and Uni-Europa, i.e. private
security employees training, recruitment and retention; security management; professional
capacities of the company for providing private security; broader legal framework and special
regulations and social responsibility. Moreover, the quality criteria will be elaborated within
the existing challenges of the contemporary global and security environment. The final goal
of this article will be to systematize the scientific knowledge in the field of quality of the
private security. |
