“…This finding conforms to the study by Nalla and Gurinskaya (2020), who state that the level of interaction between the police and the private security service should be regularly based on the fact that they work towards a common goal of preventing crime. Crime prevention is a collective responsibility between the state and the private sector and therefore requires collective effort fostered by frequent interactions.…”

In the last three decades, there have been debates on how private security has taken over the State's role in providing policing and security services to the public. Previously, the State has enjoyed the preserve and the privilege of being a monopolist in providing the services mentioned above. However, due to the dynamic changing nature of the crime, numerous calls have been made to establish public-private partnerships between the State and private security in policing and security-related services. This study sought to investigate the relationship between private security service providers and national security organs in crime prevention in Lurambi Sub-county, Kenya. The study was underpinned in the Routine Activity and Situational Crime Prevention Theories of criminology. The study adopted descriptive and correlational research designs. The primary target population constituted 358 respondents, both male and female, drawn from six registered and regulated private security service providers in Lurambi Sub-County, 5 senior police officers in charge of security, police administration, and 4 police stations across Lurambi Sub-County, and 133 clients of private security services. Purposive sampling was used to identify the 6 registered and licensed private security firms which provided the study population. Proportionate sampling with a statistical framework of 30% was used to identify 108 private security service providers who formed the sample size to ensure that the private security officers from the 6 firms were represented in the same proportion that they existed within the population. Questionnaires were used to collect data from three groups of respondents, including 108 private security officers, 6 managers each in charge of each private security firm that participated in the study, and 40 clients sampled from the 6 private security firms that participated in the study. Interview guides were used to collect data from 5 senior police officers in charge of security, police administration, and 4 police stations spread across Lurambi Sub-County. Study findings revealed a statistically significant but weak relationship between private security service providers and national security organs in crime prevention (r=.469; P<0.05). This implied that even though increased collaboration between private security service providers and the national security organs can significantly enhance crime prevention, there is currently limited interaction in that regard. As a consequence of the findings, the study recommended that private security service companies enhance collaboration and networking with State law enforcement agencies to enhance crime prevention.

“…da imajo pravico posegati v najbolj osnovne človekove pravice in svoboščine), je sedaj lastno mnogim, tudi varnostnikom, ki so zaposleni v zasebnih varnostnih organizacijah. Skladno z omenjenim trendom se število zasebnih varnostnikov v razmerju do policistov povečuje (Nalla in Gurinskaya, 2020), v mnogih državah po svetu pa je število varnostnikov pravzaprav preseglo število policistov (Provost, 2017;Rettman, 2010). Kljub prevzemanju novih nalog in pooblastil, ter izvajanju policijskim opravilom sorodnih nalog, pa se koncepti delovanja zasebnovarnostnih subjektov v nekaterih segmentih razlikujejo od policije, kar je posledica drugačne zakonske ureditve.…”

Policijska poklicna kultura lahko rezultira v številnih težavah, ki se lahko kažejo v raznovrstnih neželenih posledicah, kot na primer prekomerni uporabi sile ali družinskem nasilju. Tovrstna poklicna kultura se izoblikuje zaradi različnih okoliščin, s katerimi se policisti srečujejo pri svojem delu: neprestana izpostavljenost nevarnosti, visoka avtoriteta, možnost uporabe sile, pravica do avtonomnega odločanja v postopkih in delovanje v strogo hierarhičnem okolju. Ker zasebni varnostniki delujejo tudi na javnih površinah in pogosto v javnem interesu ter imajo možnost izvrševanja ukrepov, ki v nekaterih primerih dosegajo tudi policijska pooblastila, so pretekle raziskave ugotavljale, ali med zasebnimi varnostniki vlada kultura, podobna policijski. Cilj prispevka je skozi pripovedni pregled literature ugotoviti podobnosti in razlike med policijsko poklicno kulturo in poklicno kulturo med zasebnimi varnostniki. Iskanje literature je bilo izvedeno po vnaprej določeni strategiji. Določene so bile ključne besede, vključitveni kriteriji, metode iskanja in bibliografske zbirke, ki so bile pregledane. Identificirana literatura je bila analizirana z deskriptivno in primerjalno metodo. Ugotovitve nakazujejo, da kljub obstoju razlik v naravi dela, stališčih in vrednotah med varnostniki in policisti obstaja bistveno več sorodnih okoliščin in dejavnikov, ki nakazujejo na podobnosti v poklicnih kulturah.

“…In many developed or developing countries, in Central Europe but not only, the number of private security guards exceeds the number of police (Nalla and Gurinskaya 2020), and in some countries they outnumber the police and also the military (Haughton, Smith and Berndtsson 2019). Public security forces and private security companies must be united with the same goal, supported by a close partnership to exchange information, knowledge and experience.…”

This research aims to evaluate the degree of customer satisfaction of the nightclubs with the security guards, as well as the perception of their professionalism in performing their duties. Using survey data from 479 nightclubs clients to assess the clients’ professionalism perception of bouncers-doormen and satisfaction. The results indicate an overall satisfaction and bouncers-doormen to be recognized as professionals. Findings also partially contradict previous research. Despite recognizing a certain degree of abuse of power, customers consider those professionals as helpful, especially in emergency situations where they provide guidance and the necessary support. They are also considered to properly watch and protect people and goods in night-time entertainment spaces and have a good ability to foresee and anticipate incidents.
