Private security patrols come to Chicago's Fulton Market District

CHICAGO -- Anyone who has had a night out in the Fulton Market or West Loop areas recently may have noticed private security patrolling the streets.Neighborhood groups have been pushing for such a measure—but they say they did not hire the private security.The Fulton Market District stays busy day and night. Longtime resident Rick White can see a lot from his balcony off Randolph Street.'Look around - the restaurants, the activity, the vibe,' said White.

Roger Romanelli, executive director of the Fulton Market Association, said he understands there are a lot of limits on the guards' role and powers.'These private security guards, to my understanding, they can't carry weapons in the public way—and they're not authorized to arrest people or detain people,' he said.
