Abstract

『Security Services Industry Act』 strictly prohibits private security guards from performing tasks outside of guard services duties. However, in reality, private security guards in multi-family housing perform other tasks in addition to providing guard services. In order to resolve this gap between the system and reality, 『Multi-Family Housing Management Act』 was revised on October 20th, 2021 to provide exemptions in regard to applying 『Security Services Industry Act』 to private security guards in multi-family housing. According to this revision, multi-family housing residents cannot give illegal instructions or commands to private security guards. Despite various efforts such as the revision of related laws, the issue regarding the work scope of private security guards in multi-family housing is being raised repeatedly. This study provided further discussions related to the work scope of private security guards in multi-family housing, one year after the enforcement of the new system. Main conclusions of this study are as follows. Major points that need to be addressed when revising the laws related to the work scope of private security guards in multi-family housing were suggested. First, the gap between the law related to the work scope of private security guards in multi-family housing and reality was pointed out. Second, the need for the unification of regulations that are related to the tasks of private security guards in multi-family housing was pointed out. Third, the need for the change in public attitude of citizens regarding the role of private security guards in multi-family housing was pointed out.
