The security industry for civilians (Private Security), was first introduced to Korea via the US army's security system in the early 1960's. Shortly after then, official police laws were enforced in 1973, and private security finally started to develop with the passing of the 'service security industry' law in 1976. Korea's Private Security industry grew rapidly in the 1980's with the support of foreign funds and products, and now there are thought to be approximately 2000 private security enterprises currently running in Korea. However, nowadays the majority of these enterprises are experiencing difficulties such as lack of funds, insufficient management, and lack of control over employees, as a result, it seems difficult for some enterprises to avoid the low production output and bankruptcy. As a result of this these enterprises often settle these matters illegally, such as excessive dumping or avoiding problems by hiring inappropriate employees who don't have the right skills or qualifications for the jobs. The main problem with the establishment of this kind of security service is that it is so easy to make inroads into this private service market. All these hindering factors inhibit the market growth and impede qualitative development. Based on these main reasons, I researched this area, and will analyze and criticize the present condition of Korea's private security. I will present a possible development plan for the private security of Korea by referring to cases from the US and Japan. My method of researching was to investigate any related documentary records and articles and to interview people for necessary evidence. The theoretical study, involves investigation books and dissertations which are published from inside and outside of the country, and studying the complete collection of laws and regulations, internet data, various study reports, and the documentary records and the statistical data of many institutions such as the National Police Office, judicial training institute, and the enterprises of private security. Also, in addition, the contents of professionals who are in charge of practical affairs on the spot in order to overcomes the critical points of documentary records when investigating dissertation. I tried to get a firm grasp of the problems and difficulties which people in these work enterprises experience, this I thought would be most effective by interviewing the workers, for example: how they feel in the work places and what are the elements which inpede development? And I also interviewed policemen who are in charge of supervising the private escort enterprises, in an effort to figure out the problems and differences in opinion between domestic private security service and the police. From this investigation and research I will try to pin point the major problems of the private security and present a developmental plan. Firstly-Companies should unify the private police law and private security service law. Secondly-It is essential to introduce the 'specialty certificate' system for the quality improvement of private security service. Thirdly-must open up a new private security market by improving old system. Fourth-must build up the competitive power of the security service enterprises which is based on an efficient management. Fifth-needs special marketing strategy to hold customers Sixth-needs positive research based on theoretical studies. Seventh-needs the consistent and even training according to effective market demand. Eighth-Must maintain interrelationship with the police department. Ninth-must reinforce the system of Korean private security service association. Tenth-must establish private security laboratory. Based on these suggestions there should be improvement of private security service.

한국의 민간경비산업은 1960년대 초 미군부대의 용역경비를 실시함으로써 시작되었다. 이후 1973년 청원경찰법이 제정되었고, 1976년 용역경비업법(현 경비업법)이 제정됨으로써 민간경비산업이 조금씩 성장하기 시작하였다. 1980년대 초 외국기술과 자본의 도입으로 민간경비산업은 급속한 성장을 하였고, 현재 2000여개가 넘는 민간경비업체들이 있다. 하지만 이러한 업체들 중 상당수의 업체들이 부실경영과 자본력의 압박, 인력관리능력부족 등으로 인하여 인프라를 구축하지 못하고 파산하거나 영세성을 면치 못하고 있다. 그리고 이들 업체들은 치열한 민간경비시장에서 생존하기 위하여 과다한 덤핑행위와 위탈법을 저지르거나 자격조건에 맞지 않는 인력채용 등으로 민간경비시장을 어지럽히고 있다. 또한 민간경비업체의 허가요건을 갖추기가 너무 용이하다보니 업계의 진출입이 손쉽게 이루어진다. 이러한 모든 문제점이 피드백을 이루면서 민간경비시장의 질적 발전을 저해하고 있다 .이에 본 연구자는 한국민간경비산업의 현황을 분석하고, 이에 따르는 문제점을 도출하여 미국, 일본의 민간경비를 바탕으로 한국민간경비산업에 대한 적절한 발전방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에 따르면, 현재 한국 민간경비는 법적제도적 측면, 경영적 측면, 학문연구적 측면, 마지막으로 관련기관의 문제점을 해결해야만 한다. 이러한 문제점들은 법의 일원화, 자격증제도의 도입, 체계화된 경영전략, 관련기관의 상호협력 등이 원활하게 이루어지면서 해결될 것이며, 한국 민간경비는 더욱 발전할 것으로 전망된다.
