Private Security Scope in Europe
The use of private security services is growing as does the population in the countries that comprise Europe.
“The growth of the private security industry in the nations of Europe is set to expand for the following reasons:
1) With the changing field of technology in electronic surveillance, it becomes cheaper and more cost-effective for private rather than public solutions to security issues.
2) The use of private security forces to guard migration detention centers in the UK, France, Ireland, Greece, and Spain”
seem to be a growing trend with the increase of migrants globally, seeking to come to Europe.
It offers a large and growing opportunity for the private security industry as a whole. There is new research that shows that
“effective institutions may lessen violent responses”,
which would assist the countries of Europe in meeting social needs without a costly governmental response.
Given the ability for security companies to meet the gap professionally, with advanced training internally, the use of new technology and practices would allow for social trust to be built. It has been shown that
“social trust shapes how a citizen thinks about territorial disputes, and influences public opinion favored by the public.”
For private security companies, there is a large opportunity if the bar of professional, non-biased, security management can be a new growth norm for European communities facing these growth factors in non-state actors’ attempts at violence and disruption of civil society. In short for the private security company willing to go above and beyond in training, equipment, technology, and use of force practices the potential for financial growth is huge.
