private security legislation

Private security legislation refers to laws and regulations governing the practice of private security firms and personnel. It sets standards for licensing, training, conduct, and accountability to ensure security activities are performed legally, ethically, and effectively. These laws define the roles and responsibilities of private security, establish oversight mechanisms, and often specify how they interact with law enforcement and the public. The goal is to protect individual and property security, prevent misconduct, and maintain public trust, all while ensuring private security providers operate within a clear legal framework.
