Introduction
This book presents six private military companies and / or private security companies. The analyzed companies are: DynCorp International, Triple Canopy, Academi, G4S-Romania office-, Securitas-Romania office-, BGS Romania. The analysis was designed in an own pattern, chasing elements such as: company history, services that can be provided, the company's revenue, internal regulations and codes of conduct, the impact on civil society, employment opportunities, criticism. Information was obtained through the Open Source Intelligence, quality being thus guaranteed.
Besides these analyzes, at the end of the book you will find two chapters on two very important jobs today: intelligence officer and private investigator. These jobs are presented to you according to Romania laws and please take into consideration that this country is member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Thus, information can be expanded in some aspects to all N.A.T.O. member states.
Regardless of the specifics of the company-a private military or private security one-, they are businesses in a market economy and will seek to reach their offers to potential customers, regardless of their location on the globe. The dimension of international market for private security is remarkable, given that only in Romania-which is not a big or powerful country-, at 31.12.2011 there were registered 1,262 companies specialized in delivering security and protection, according to a statement issued by the General Inspectorate of Romanian Police, Department of Public Order. From a consumer perspective, the quality / price relation will determine the contractor at first sight. But it will take into account the professionalism in missions carried out, human resources, compliance with contract and other variables. In the current international context, any customer or any private company would not want incidents in their activity that would attract the attention on both the client's business and the private security company.
This book reveals those private security companies / private military companies that have carried out missions in various parts of the world. The most publicized and recognized companies on this market in terms of recorded turnover, will be included in this book. Private military companies and private security companies have reached in their missions on all continents, in areas such as: Nigeria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Taiwan, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Bosnia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Kosovo, Kuwait and so on. However, the largest customer for these companies, by value of contracts awarded and geopolitical and geostrategic position, remains the United States government.
Security needs are diverse, as Abraham Maslow has listed and ranked them second, after the physical needs. At the individual level, security applies to physical integrity, workplace, resources, moral state, family, health and property. It can be said that Maslow's pyramid is actual even today and human development in various fields will take place only if these needs-see Maslow's hierarchy- will be satisfied from bottom to top. State institutions by excessive bureaucracy and difficulty response can not always ensure condition of security for its citizens. Therefore, there is a shortage of safe status at the individual level for various reasons such as
