the voluntary consent or probable
cause burden is held by the law at the
time of initiating a contract.

employment scope direction, that by the
nature bypasses the established boundaries
for public policing. For the same reason the
industry of private security is considered an
enterprise of broad nature than the public
policing which has a wider functions range
(Larrabee, 2007).

all the officers of private security and is
responsible for issuing and monitoring the

Commission but the security licensed personnel
has far greater number than the police. With the
