PREAMBLE

	The Schedule 13D, dated July 27, 1992, filed by FMR Corp. ("FMR") with 
respect to the Common Stock, $0.00 par value per share (the "Shares") of 
Pinkerton's Inc., is hereby amended as set forth below.  The Shares to which 
it relates are owned by one account of FMR Corp. (the "FMR Account"), five 
funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, fourteen accounts 
managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company, American Values IV (Bermuda) 
Ltd., Fidelity American Special Situations Trust, Fidelity International 
Limited, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, and accounts of Edward C. 
Johnson 3d or his family members.  A separate Schedule 13D will be filed by 
Fidelity International Limited, a Bermuda Corporation, with respect to the 
Shares.

Item 1.	Security and Issuer.

	This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, $0.00 par value 
(the "Shares") of Pinkerton's, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 6727 Odessa 
Avenue, Van Nuys, California 91406.

Item 2.	Identity and Background.

	Item 2 is amended as follows:

	This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts Corporation 
("FMR").  A separate Schedule 13D is being filed by Fidelity International 
Limited, a Bermuda joint stock company incorporated for an unlimited duration 
by private act of the Bermuda legislature ("FIL").  FMR is a holding company 
one of whose principal assets is the capital stock of a wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), which is also 
a Massachusetts corporation.  Fidelity is an investment adviser which is 
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and which 
provides investment advisory services to more than 30 investment companies 
which are registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and 
serves as investment adviser to certain other funds which are generally 
offered to limited groups of investors (the "Fidelity Funds").  Fidelity 
Management Trust Company ("FMTC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and 
a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
serves as trustee or managing agent for various private investment accounts, 
primarily employee benefit plans and serves as investment adviser to certain 
other funds which are generally offered to limited groups of investors (the 
"Accounts").  Various directly or indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR are also 
engaged in investment management, venture capital asset management, securities 
brokerage, transfer and shareholder servicing and real estate development.  
The principal offices of FMR, Fidelity, and FMTC are located at 82 Devonshire 
Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

	FIL is an investment adviser which provides investment advisory and 
management services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies or instrument 
trusts (the "International Funds") and certain institutional investors.  Prior 
to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity.  On that 
date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were distributed, as a dividend, to 
the shareholders of FMR.  FIL currently operates as an entity independent of 
FMR and Fidelity.  The International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the 
exception of Fidelity and an affiliate of Fidelity, are non-U.S. entities.  
Various foreign-based subsidiaries of FIL are also engaged in investment 
management.  The principal office of FIL is located at Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow 
Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda.

	Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity.  
On that date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were distributed, as a 
dividend, to the shareholders of FMR.  FIL currently operates as an entity 
independent of FMR and Fidelity.  The International Funds and FIL's other 
clients, with the exception of Fidelity and an affiliate of Fidelity, are non-
U.S. entities.

	Edward C. Johnson 3d owns 34.0% of the outstanding voting common stock 
of FMR.  In addition, a partnership controlled by Mr. Johnson and members of 
his family own shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast approximately 
47.22% of the total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting 
stock.  Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp. and FIL.  FMR Corp. and FIL 
are separate and independent corporate entities.  FMR Corp. and FIL are 
managed independently and their boards of Directors are generally composed of 
different individuals.  Their investment decisions are made independently, and 
clients are different organizations.  The business address and principal 
occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A hereto.

	Effective July 1, 1993, Fidelity became sub-advisor to American Values 
IV (Bermuda) Ltd. ("AVIV"), Fidelity American Special Situations Trust 
("FASST"), and Domestic Values Fund (the "FMR Account").

	AVIV is a closed end investment company established under the Companies 
Act, 1981 of Bermuda, as amended.  Its principal office is at Pembroke Hall, 
42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda.  The investment manager of AVIV is FIL.  The 
FMR Account is maintained by FMR.  FASST is a unit trust established and 
authorized by the Department of Trade and Industry under the laws of England.  
The investment advisor of FASST is Fidelity Investment Services Limited, an 
English company and a subsidiary of FIL.

	The Shares to which this statement relates are owned directly by five of 
the Fidelity Funds, fourteen Accounts, the account of FMR, AVIV, FASST, by 
Fidelity International Limited, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, and 
by accounts of Edward C. Johnson 3d or his family members.

	FMR and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for 
purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 
Act") and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the 
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other 
corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.  
Therefore, they are of the view that the Shares held by the other corporations 
need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d).  However, FMR is making 
this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the Shares are beneficially 
owned by FMR and FIL on a joint basis.

	The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or 
employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and directors of 
FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

	Within the past five years, none of the persons named in this Item 2 or 
listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding 
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to any civil 
proceeding and as a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment, decree 
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating 
activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any 
violations with respect to such laws.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction.

	The purpose of Fidelity in having the Fidelity Funds purchase Shares 
(see Item 5 below) is to acquire an equity interest in the Company in pursuit 
of specified investment objectives established by the Board of Trustees of the 
Fidelity Funds and the pension funds.

	Fidelity may continue to have the Fidelity Funds purchase Shares subject 
to a number of factors, including, among others, the availability of Shares of 
sale at what they consider to be reasonable prices and other investment 
opportunities that may be available to the Fidelity Funds.

	Fidelity intends to review continuously the equity position of the 
Fidelity Funds in the Company.  Depending upon future evaluations of the 
business prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but 
not limited to, general economic and business conditions and money market and 
stock market conditions, Fidelity may determine to cease making additional 
purchases of Shares or to increase or decrease the equity interest in the 
Company by acquiring additional Shares, or by disposing of all or a portion of 
the Shares.

	Fidelity does not have any present plan or proposal which relates to or 
would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, 
reorganization, liquidation, or sale of transfer of a material amount of 
assets involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change in 
the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii) any material 
changes in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy or any 
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (iv) 
any change in the Company's charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common 
stock becoming eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to 
Section 12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of Issuer.

	Item 5 is amended as follows:

	Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, the FMR Account, AVIV, 
FASST, and FIL, beneficially own all 700,600 Shares, reference is made to Item 
2 for a disclaimer of beneficial ownership with respect to the securities 
which are "beneficially owned" by the other corporations.

	(a)	FMR beneficially owns, through its own account ("FMR Account") 
zero Shares, or approximately 0.00% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, 
and through Fidelity, as investment adviser to the Fidelity Funds, 664,500 
Shares, or approximately 8.05% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, and 
through FMTC, the managing agent for the Accounts, 9,600 Shares, or 
approximately 0.12% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.  Edward C. 
Johnson 3d owns, in accounts for his benefit or the benefit of an Edward C. 
Johnson 3d family member, 26,500 Shares or approximately 0.32% of the 
outstanding Shares of the Company.  FIL beneficially owns, as investment 
adviser to the International Funds, zero Shares, or approximately 0.00% of the 
outstanding Shares of the Company.  Neither FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, Edward C. 
Johnson 3d, nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any 
of the persons name in Schedule A hereto, beneficially owns any other Shares.  
The combined holdings of FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, AVIV, the FMR Account, FASST, 
Edward C. Johnson 3d, and FIL are 700,600 Shares, or approximately 8.49% of 
the outstanding Shares of the Company.

	(b)	FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment adviser to the 
Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to dispose of the Shares.  
Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of 
the 664,500 Shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides 
with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  Fidelity carries out the voting of the 
Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Trustees.  
FMR, through its control of FMTC, investment manager to the Accounts, and the 
Accounts each has sole voting and dispositive power over 9,600 Shares owned by

(60) days.

fee, or other contract or arrangement with any person with respect to any
