Abstract
This article examines the professional relationship between police officers and retail store detectives. Fifty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with police officers from six states. The results of the study suggest police officers have a somewhat tenuous relationship with store detectives; however, strategies exist to develop stronger partnerships between the two parties. Academics and practitioners can use these findings to more clearly understand how the security industry operates. Furthermore, these findings can be used to forge stronger, more productive relationships between police officers and store detectives.
