Statistical studies show the emergence of sizeable companies, which account for the majority of activity in the field. The area of biggest development is that of video-serveillance. In response to this development in the private security sector public authorities have set up a regulatory framework. In twenty years there have been three major legislative stage. The attitude of public powers has evolved from one of suspicion to one of coexistence. The orientation and programming law of 1995 in fact acknowledges that certain private security operations should participate in the 'co-production' of collective security. This new plan of action for public-private collaboration should be further reinforced in the near future
