This additional equipment and training give police officers more authority and responsibilities than civilians.

Private security agencies must constantly be promoting themselves by proving the local police, and even direct competitors cannot provide the same level of protection or services. The public police force feels they have jurisdiction and the private company is just getting in the way.

Public officers would prefer to see the private security officer to sit in a guard shack and to call the police if they observe something out of the ordinary. Many companies and individuals pay a lot of money for security, and in many cases they this only provides a false sense of security.
