The public police officers can always question, apprehend, and detain a person whether he or she is on public or private grounds. The private security can only perform a citizen’s arrest. They can however search a person without the fear of violating one’s Fifth Amendment rights. Private and Public security can maintain and improve their relationship by understanding the importance and need of each one. Neither public nor private security can keep order and safety without the help of the other. Many times the safety of a person or property may rely on that both private and public security has worked together to crackdown on crime. As one can see both private security and public police are needed to maintain the safety of a community. Without both security teams backing one another, and working together to understand the importance of each other society will not and could not be as safe as it is now.
