The law in force is Decree 52-2010, the Act Regulating Private Security Services, whose full text is available from the Judiciary's Center for Judicial Analysis and Documentation. Its predecessor is Decree 73-70, the Private Police Act (published 4 Nov 1970), the regime under which some older companies still hold ministerial or governmental accords.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
