I suspect non-mobile camera infrastructure (and perhaps ultimately of cameras worn for other reasons) scanned by AI will replace most of them.
Mobile cameras like these, just as with many patrolling security guards, are for visibility more than "enforcement" (using quotation marks since private guards don't actually enforce laws in a society with the government is supposed to have a monopoly on violence).
The number of guards in the US has grown ridiculously out of proportion to the growth (diminution actually) of risk. Much of it is theatrical: employees feel unnecessary fear in parking lots, shareholders worry that important papers my be waking out the front door, they neighboring company has turnstiles to control incoming people -- what, are we less important than they?
As corporate profits start to thin, the cost of supporting all these worthless jobs will become untenable and automation will rise.
