The literature on private security in a cross-national context has expanded over the last two decades. However, research on the Turkish private security industry has been limited. The current study explores various aspects of the Turkish private security industry, including growth trends, the latest regulations, officer demographics, and their perception of instructional sufficiency using Turkish National Police (TNP) statistics and a survey of Turkish private security officers. The findings suggest that Turkish private security is a rapidly growing industry relative to other countries in the world. Although the majority of Turkish private security officers felt that the level of training they received was sufficient to perform their duties, little connection was found among their demographic characteristics and their perception of training sufficiency.
