Private Eye Firms Boom in Private Security Rise
New York reports private security expands as firms like Burns Pinkerton and Wackenhut grow undercover and guard services. Industry revenue nears 177 million in 1967 with about 176000 personnel costing 1.5 billion annually. Goldfarb notes undercover work masks theft and pilferage, while guards patrol venues and plants. Pinkerton’s, largest with 18000+ staff, staffed 4500 for the 1964 65 World's Fair, recording 587 arrests and 10,313 child reunifications.
