PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS/SECURITY GUARDS v. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES DEPLOYMENT

April 22, 2009

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

*Government expenditures for police services are on the rise *Makes Sense..more time for law enforcement to handle serious issues *Private Sector has expertise and willingness to accommodate the needs My position now and has been for several years is that the private security and investigations firms are ready, willing and able to transition some of the lower level tasks away from law enforcement. These tasks may be non-injury accident investigation, handling follow-up of witness statements regarding lesser offenses, interviewing witnesses at low risk crime scenes (i.e. burglaries), perimeter crime scene security, interviewing/investigation of reported fraudulent, non-violent activity, gathering information related to current investigations as directed by the Agency employing the firms. This, I believe, will free up already stressed budget issues within most if not all communities. By using available private resources while limiting law enforcement expenditures makes good sense.
