Summary/Abstract: The concept of private security is often considered a relatively modern phenomenon, however, the reality is that some form of private security and protection has existed for centuries. Whether it is the invention of locks, or the construction of ancient and stone fortifications, or the provision of various services related to people or public and private companies, the concept of private security has existed much longer than the modern private security system we know today. This paper will consider the evolution of private security in Bosnia and Herzegovina and monitor the gradual development and privatization of private security. The paper covers the period from 1951 until the legal regulation of the private security sector. The results indicate that year 2002 marked the privatization of the security sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. From this year, the state of the private security sector can be monitored and analyzed, since the adoption of legal regulations in this area at the entity level, and two years later at the level of the Brcko District of B&H, provided the right to companies to engage in private security affairs.
