No I think it interferes with the job of the regular police force.
Yea but the police can't be there all the time, especially for celebrities and politicians.
That is true.
As you all know I am an ex cop.
Private security can be either a good thing – if they are properly trained and supervised – or totally useless – if they are hired to be just a warm body.
It is my professional attitude that all private security officers should go through all three levels of volunteer police reserve training for the area and state in which they are employed – this should also include at least two full shifts each week as a reserve police officer. The reason being is you have a lot of private security companies out there that hire just any warm body without a background check or any training at all. We used to call them "The Mayberry Barney Fife Farce", and believe me when I say that these folks are more dangerous than the actual criminal element out there.
Just my not-so-humble opinion. B)
In the words of Steve Ignoramus –
I'm a private in a private army
I am a working for Securicor
Take the money and come back for more
I want to do it cause I know I should
For the customer and the common good
I walk around with a big alsation
He'll re-arrange you with no provocation
And I'm the bugger who has got the lead
And you'll have to be bright if you want to get at me
Securicor cares, Securicor cares
Securicor scares the shit out of you
That is true. They must go through some regular standardized training. Wouldn't want my future bodyguards to not know what they are doing.
