2. Private security
Private Security can be bouncers at a night club, security guards watching over a local warehouse, or security guards working at music festivals. These can be known as public facing security roles. Private Security is usually considered to be relatively modern, however, Private Security has been around for centuries. It can be from the invention of locks to the design of ancient forts and battlements. Defining private security is hard because there are many roles and specialties within the industry. The first examples of private security can go back to humans attempts to protect their land and their families.

3. Public security
Public sector security is our law enforcement. It consists of detectives, police officers, and sheriffs. In 1904, the public service act came into effect. This act allows the Governor to appoint a commissioner who oversees the general structure of the public service including the disposition of officers and offices

4. Public vs. private security
Protecting the public
Need training
Both need certifications.
Private security guards do not carry weapons and public officers do.
Private security guards do need to take a course and obtain a license, but public security guards have to go through extensive training and receive certifications.
Politics, government establishments, and laws also control the public sector. Private security guards are subject to a greater chance of loosing their jobs.

6. code of ethics governing security professionals
Private security or police officers are often seen on public land while providing security to access points of adjacent private land. Because of this, private police are acting on behalf of corporate interests and sometimes that means against the rights of civilians and potentially by using force. Private security officers that work for loss prevention inside a store restrict the liberty and freedom of citizens whom are observed breaking the law, which can lead to private police using force to apprehend citizens. “Ultimately, it can be argued that private sector should not engage in functions that will likely result in the use of force, which should be the exclusive domain of the state” (McCartney and Parent)

7. code of ethics governing security professionals
When dealing with public police officers there is more expected of them morally and ethically. Public police officers are under a microscope and everything they say and or do is being watched by their superiors and the public

8. conclusion
Private and public security have many similarities, but they also have a lot of differences in what they provide to the public and citizens. Private security guards have a lot less training and credentials, but they have a little more leniency on how hard they can be on a law breaker whereas the public officers are being watched by not only the public but by all the superiors in the police department and the government. I think public officers are held to a high standard with ethics than private security officers are.
