Private security refers to services provided by non-governmental entities to protect individuals, property, or information, often funded by businesses or individuals. In contrast, public police are government employees tasked with enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and protecting citizens, funded by taxpayer dollars. While private security focuses on specific clients and their interests, public police serve the broader community and have legal authority to enforce laws. Additionally, public police have broader powers, including making arrests and conducting investigations, whereas private security typically operates within contractual limitations.
A public security officer works for a public agency like the Police Department. A private security officer works for a private company to ensure tha objects or information important to the company are not stolen, and to contl the entries to the company spaces, etc.

It is unknown what it is that you are looking for. Security guards and private security agents have no power to enforce any laws and police officers are sworn law enforcement officers with full authority to enforce all criminal laws. There is NO in-between.

"Private police" is the same used by some private security forces, e.g. security guards. They usually have no police powers. They can't serve warrants, make arrests on probable cause, or make traffic stops.
