    The Confederation of European Security Services (CoESS) is the European umbrella organisation for 22 national private security employers’ associations. It was founded in 1989. CoESS is the only representative European employers’ organisation defending the interests of the private security services industry. It is recognised by the European Commission (DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion) as a European sectoral social partner in accordance with the European Treaties. CoESS represents 18 EU Member States and a total of 22 countries, which translates into some 45,000 private security companies employing a total of 2 million private security employees. The European private security services industry generates a yearly turnover of approximately € 40 billion Euros.
