INTRODUCTION
Security, in its semantic and philosophical sense, implies a stable, relatively predictable environment in which an individual
or group may pursue its ends without disruption or harm, and without fear of such disturbance or injury. The concept of security in
an organizational sense, as a means by which this safety and stability can be achieved, has evolved gradually throughout the history
of Western civilization, shaped by wide variety of institutional and cultural patterns.
In examining the origins and development of security, it is both obvious and instructive to observe that security holds
mirror up, not to nature, but to society and its institutions. Thus, the practice of utilizing workers and equipment to protect people
and property is age-old. In addition to being concerned about their own society, people have wanted to protect their belongings and
the lives of others important to them. The types of security measures that people have taken over the ages appear to reflect both
the resources that were available and the nature of dangers that were present during each period.
Throughout the ages, two conditions have been both necessary and sufficient for people to utilize private security measures
telt need and sufficient resources. Whenever both conditions have been present, those affected appear have taken some kind of

1 Introduction to Industrial Security Concepts| LEA 3

private security measure to consider private security measure, a person or group must first have to telt sufficiently threatened to
warrant devoting the necessary resources protection. The perceived threat may have been directed against a person property, or
both. Those contemplating protection also appear to have considered the potential magnitude of any physical emotional and
monetary damage they might suffer; their willingness to undertake whatever protective measures were necessary and their ability
to undertake those measures themselves: the extent and the quality of assistance that they felt they could expect from their
employees, family, friends, neighbors, peers, and public law enforcement officials, how confidential they wanted the matter kept;
whether others whose opinions affected them would be Impressed, disapproved of, or be indifferent security measures would
significantly reduce their risk.
Those considering private security also had to have sufficient resources available to them to implement the security
measures. They might use the resources to hire people, buy equipment, consult with experts, contract with organizations for private
security forces or any combination of these, depending on factors such as whether or not they already had employees when could
carry out the security measures; the cost and availability of the type of protection they wanted, which in turn depended on supply
and demand; the perceived cost-to benefit ratio (that is, whether or not they could pool their resources with others who has might
be affected; and the amount of time, effort, and money they could spare tor security.
