Disney Security

Disney Security is a security force operated by the Walt Disney Company (Disney) in the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Though it is a private company, it often operates as a law enforcement agency.

Disney Security does not have any jurisdiction over the Reedy Creek Improvement District as it is not a law enforcement agency. However, it can perform security actions prescribed under Florida law, including initiating traffic stops on private roads, detaining shoplifters, temporarily holding offenders until law enforcement arrives, and ejecting unruly or unwanted visitors from the property. However, if the Disney Company wishes to press charges against an offender, they must do so through the Orange County or Osceola County Sheriff's Departments. They also leave the investigation of more profound crimes to these departments.

At times, the lack of government oversight found in the Reedy Creek Improvement District has been blamed for controversy surrounding Disney Security. Various whistleblower sources have documented alleged cases of civil rights abuses, including indefinite holding without a criminal charge, unfounded arrest, impeding the investigations of "bona fide" [law enforcement agency(s)] .

A separate Disney Security force is visible at Disneyland in California. All law enforcement in Disneyland is partnered between Disney and the Anaheim Police Department.
