I mean, it depends. Some cops moonlight as private security. But you don't have to be a cop to work private security. And if you work private security and aren't a cop, you do have to tread a finer line of legality.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that everything also varies state to state. IIRC some states don't even require licensing to work as private security, which boggles my mind.
