This paper examines the role of private security organizations in policing 21st-century Nigeria. It utilized exploratory research analysis drawing strength majorly from secondary data, including books, journals, internet resources, etc. The paper employed the third-party policing perspective as the theoretical framework of analysis. The paper posits that the role of private security organizations in policing in Nigeria is under-explored and inadequate, thereby undermining the critical role of the sector in national security architecture. The paper recommends among others the integration of private security organizations in national security designs and policies because of their crucial role in policing in Nigeria and government should legislate laws enabling them to bear firearms.
