In moments of crisis or concern, whether it’s at a store or a concert, security guards may be the ones people turn to for help. The number of security guards in the U.S. is rising at a time when the number of police officers across the country is on the decline, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Private security companies are reporting a boost in business, like Ranger Guard, based in Houston.

More communities struggling with crime are adding private security to keep an eye on things.
