About one million Americans work as security guards, twice the number of those serving as police officers. While the data does not include the number of guards who carry arms, Shoshana Walter, public safety reporter at the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), says that the security guard industry is a parallel universe where the expected norms of policing simply don’t apply.
About one million Americans work as security guards, twice the number of those serving as police officers. While the data does not include the number of guards who carry arms, Shoshana Walter, public safety reporter at the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), says that the security guard industry is a parallel universe where the expected norms of policing simply don’t apply.
“The security industry is very different from the law enforcement profession,” says Walters. “They have limited powers, they don’t have the same ability to detain or arrest, or as it relates to search and seizures. But they’re often taking on the same types of roles as law enforcement officers.”
Walters says that guards often have a small fraction of the training that police officers usually get. In the state of California, for example, a police officer is required to get a minimum of 600 hours of training—an armed guard gets about 54 hours.
“The difference there is huge,” she says.
In addition to training, regulations regarding background checks for armed guards also vary widely by state.

A Mississippi security guard is facing aggravated assault charges after police say he shot a man suspected of shoplifting a Snickers bar. According to police, managers at Fred’s Store in Canton last month spotted Alvin Gardner on security cameras.
Police said Alvin Gardner was shot by a security guard outside a Fred’s store in Canton, Mississippi, after being caught stealing a candy bar and fleeing the business in April (video below).
“You can’t pick up your weapon and shoot someone for a candy bar,” Canton Police Chief Otha Brown told WAPT. “That’s just not right.”
Store managers allegedly saw Gardner putting a Snickers candy bar into his pocket on security cameras, so the managers alerted the security guard, Bennie Montgomery.
According to police, Montgomery followed Gardner outside, fired some warning shots, and then shot Montgomery in his right leg.
Gardner reportedly passed out because of the loss of blood and was later treated at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The shooting took place after a Canton man named Alvin Gardner was seen on security cameras grabbing a 95-cent Snickers bar and putting it in his pocket without paying, WAPT News reported.Security guard Bennie Montgomery witnessed the attempted …

This unassuming Toronto security guard just wanted a quick fist bump from Lowry, and we’d imagine they’ve exchanged greetings before. But All-Star guard looked away just as he passed the poor guy, leaving him to contemplate his entire existence.

Kevin James stars as “Paul Blart” in Columbia Pictures’ comedy PAUL BLART: MALL COP.
TV and movies tell us security guards are bumbling fat idiots. They are the butt of a joke. Falling asleep with their feet up, they never pay attention to those security camera monitors while burglars steal gold or priceless paintings or stacks of cash. They’re easily distracted, easily gagged and tied up and — as in Die Hard or The Matrix or countless other action films — easily killed.
In real life, they work long, boring hours strolling the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, waving metal detectors at Mets games, printing sticky visitor passes at commercial buildings, checking IDs at concerts, standing for hours and hours on end at public landmarks, department stores, colleges, pharmacies.
Security Guards are everywhere.
Security guards really are on the front lines of public safety.
There are more than two times as many security guards than police officers in New York state and roughly 10 times as many guards as firefighters. While a lot of kids grow up itching to join the NYPD or the fire department, it’s hard to find someone who said they wanted to be a security guard when they grew up.
The guard who patrols a corporate plaza with an H&R Block and Chase Bank in Midtown wants to be a train conductor. The guard scanning IDs at a commercial office building near Grand Central dreams of a career as a stand-up comedian. The guard who works at a Duane Reade in the Upper West Side hopes to be a cop. The older guards who aren’t retired police officers, when asked what they think of a career in security, will shrug, as if to say, “It’s a job. It pays the rent.”
The security industry is growing in New York — and while being a guard is arguably a more respected profession than it was decades ago, it’s still an unglamorous and disrespected, and even dangerous, job where a negative confrontation often ends with the familiar insults “wannabe cop,” “rent-a-cop,” “flashlight cop.” People doing the gig prefer “security officer” — a term that industry leaders have used in an attempt to move away from the square-badged, bumbling fat “guard” stereotype.
In one sense, it’s working. There are definite signs that the industry is becoming more professionalized, but complaints by guards and civilians indicate the system still tolerates the abuse of low-level security workers by employers and also the physical abuse by rogue guards on ordinary citizens. City Limits dug into New York’s private security industry and found an environment where vulnerable workers are open to mistreatment, justice against abusive guards is hard to come by and there are serious gaps in oversight from government agencies that struggle to keep up with a growing industry that New Yorkers increasingly rely on to keep them safe.
The number of employed guards in New York state has risen in each of the last six years and in 2015, the 113,490 guards employed statewide was the the highest for any year since 1997, when data-keeping began. Despite this growth, City Limits found that the state agency tasked with overseeing the industry—which used to audit every security company every year to make sure employers and guards were following the rules—was forced by resource constraints to stop that practice and has not conducted a single audit in more than three years.
A security guard as defined in Article 7A of the General Business Law [§89-f (6)] is a person (other than an active police officer) employed in NYS to principally …
