The growing number of private security companies policing UK streets is a worrying development, senior police figures say.
The Police Federation of England and Wales said there is "huge concern" over their powers and accountability.
Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has also said there should be no role for the private sector in Britain's law enforcement. The firms typically charge residents to patrol streets and deter troublemakers.
The growth in private security firms taking on policing work comes despite an increase in police numbers.
Private security firms have no powers, although chief constables may award some limited ones such as allowing them to move people on.
