Analysis of:Cash Strapped Cities Try Private Guards over Police | online.wsj.com

It is not uncommon for the expense of Police and first responders to be a dominant part of a city's budget. However, the role of the police has changed significantly since the birth of our Nation and even since the past ten years. Due to technology the actual threshold of the number of police vs. impact on crime is significantly lower than what most citizens think they need and what politicians want. So truthful scrutiny is needed here. Additionally, core policing is demanding an increasingly highly trained force that can not be readily substituted with civilians and/or private guards. Having said that, there are areas that do not demand the technical and high skills sets of a trained officer and those position can indeed be substituted with civilians and/or private guards.
