vaktselskap
A vaktselskap is a type of company, typically found in Scandinavian countries, that provides security services. These services can range from manned guarding and alarm response to technical security solutions and consulting. Vaktselskaper play a role in maintaining public safety and protecting private property. They are often licensed and regulated by government authorities, ensuring a certain standard of professionalism and reliability. The specific services offered and the regulatory framework can vary between countries. Their operations involve employing security personnel who are trained to handle various situations, from routine patrols to emergency response. The term itself translates roughly to "security company" in English. These companies contribute to the overall security infrastructure by offering specialized services that individuals or businesses may not be equipped to handle themselves.
