Summary/Abstract: Private security as a subsystem of security has had a long tradition in the former Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia. It developed out of the need of the community, business entities and individuals for additional forms of security. The life and body of a person, property and operations of economic entities appear as the most prominent object of protection. The most developed forms and types of private security are private security and detective work, which have an adequate place in developed countries. Private security in the Republic of Serbia was stranded in a legal hiatus from 1993 to 2013, after which the Law of Private Security and the Law on Detective Activities were adopted as the umbrella legal regulations of this matter. Later, by-laws were adopted to enable its implementation relating to staff training, the way of carrying out technical protection work and the use of technical means, the way of applying authority, uniforms and credentials of security officers and detectives, and spatial and technical conditions for performing detective work. The report gives and overview of the most important solutions from the legislative framework of Private Security in Serbia, while the conclusion offers de lege ferenda proposals for improving the legal framework and developing good practices based on developed countries.
