Sažetak
The world in the new decade comes with many loads that are created in previous periods. It is important to emphasize that these events opened a number of important new safety trends in the world with which we will face in the future: the emergence of new urban violence, rising food prices and an increase in hunger in the world, an increase migrativnih processes in the field of endangered resources towards areas that are rich in them, increase in intolerance and ethnic violence in developed societies, the development of various movements and activities in different ways to create new security challenges of modern states, but also the human community as a whole, more frequent natural disasters, threat to critical infrastructure, and something similar. It seems that we will in the future face of the challenges that have arisen in the past, but we have not found a solution for their reduction and elimination and new challenges that could significantly jeopardize the many forms of modern life. One of the negative consequences of such a development could be our feeling that the challenges are becoming more complex, and our political institutions do not have enough power to deal with them, which could initiate a search for some new answers that do not necessarily have to mean progress. Exactly the opposite. If all of the above are added and the intensive terrorist attacks and threats out of control even traditionally resilient societies, then the times in which we live more than ever a need for greater involvement of the private security sector in the protection of critical infrastructure, people, assets and operations at all levels of organization of society. The solution is good communication and cooperation between public and private security sector, where the private security had only a preventive role.
