Los niveles de violencia por las nubes<\/a>, y la falta de confianza en las corruptas y carentes de recursos instituciones de seguridad p\u00fablica, han llevado a un auge en el sector de la seguridad privad<\/a>a en Guatemala y en sus vecinos del Tri\u00e1ngulo del Norte -Honduras y El Salvador. En 2012, un informe de AFP encontr\u00f3<\/a> que Guatemala ten\u00eda cuatro agentes de seguridad privada por cada agente de la polic\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
