The private security sector has emerged as a major industry by virtue of employment of large manpower, both skilled and unskilled, to meet the burgeoning demand of the corporate sector. With national security assuming greater criticality and lower police to people ratio in the country, private security industry, with large manpower, can act as extended arms of law enforcement agencies. This will help relieve police forces from non-critical duties to focus on core areas.
With the anticipated growth of the industry, the employment opportunities are tremendous. Since, majority of the workforce employed is in the unorganized sector, the potential for skilling is evident. In current time while on one hand the private security personnel has to multitask using technology to perform security, safety and facilitation functions, one the other hand they must also know “Physical Security Methods” to prevent physical mishaps like thefts, intruders, gate crashers.
