The use of private security is on the rise across cities in America. Private security can be an alternative to some police tasks and is a good way for local municipalities to cut costs. Private security is well trained and professional companies run extensive background checks on their employees. Private security employees consist of current or former law enforcement officers, military professionals and highly qualified private citizens.

According to the article the WSJ was not able to get a response from the private security sector, until now.
