Because nothing in writing says they can't? I dunno

And I personally don't like it when private security agencies try to sound to "official". There is a company here in Dallas that my buddy used to work for, called the Special Enforcement Bureau and the S/Os where shirts that said "Agent" on them. Too much confusion for me.

As for the Missouri Rangers Service? Heck, it was bad enough when I had to explain to people that i was a "Sergeant Major of Security" with 1 company I worked for, I'll be damned if I'd ever try to explain being a "Security Ranger" was all about

In Quebec AGENT is the offical term. As in Agent de Sécurité or Security Agent & Agent de Police.

Missouri does not regulate security at the state level. Unless you live in KCMO or St. Louis (where you have limited police authority on your site), you aren't regulated.

Many states do not regulate the term police.

Springfield is pretty loose with the word "police" as long as it is attached to the word "security." However, I am aware of no city ordinances that permit security officers in Springfield to have any police powers.

In Kansas City and St. Louis, we have police powers on the properites for which we are assigned and extending into the city streets under certain circumstance(s). The City of Kansas City also contracts security services by those with both a Class A and Class B license, to patrol city streets. Our police and legal arrest authority derives from Title 17 of the Missouri Code of State Regulations, Section 10-2 et seq. The Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners is a state agency and as such, we are agents of the state who act under color of law and with a clear mandate in why our police powers were authorized and therein imposes a duty for us to act in a light most favorable to the State of Missouri and the City of Kansas City in fighting crime.

I know of no such "legal" authority given to security officers in Springfield.
