The UC Berkeley Labor Center has released a study indicating that tens of thousands of private security guards in California are vital to maintaining public safety.
However, the study reveals that many of these guards are subjected to poverty-level wages and insufficient training, which may compromise their effectiveness.
The findings raise significant concerns not only for the guards themselves but also for the general public, highlighting the need for better compensation and training in the security sector.
