Private Security Industry (PSI)

The Private Security Industry (PSI) consists of companies and professionals hired to protect people, property, and information. They provide services such as guarding premises, monitoring security systems, escorting valuable assets, and investigating crimes. Unlike police, private security personnel operate for private organizations or individuals and focus on specific security needs. They play a crucial role in enhancing overall safety, often working alongside law enforcement but within the limits of private law. The industry is regulated to ensure standards of professionalism and ethical conduct, serving as a vital component of the broader security landscape.
