how do they measure crime?

>Better trained people earning a bigger salary will do a better job than untrained people getting lower salaries
Woooaahhhh, wtf man, this is crazy

My mind!
it's blown!

>firing a police department

Do americans actually have the power to do this?

Kinda cool lads

So what would happen if BLM protests against this private firm?

The cops were cucks doing nothing. Will this private firm retaliate back?

Sounds like some shadowrun tier shit... gonna buy an Ares Predator now.

According to the law.

My country has contract policing (RCMP) not sure how it has effected crime or how they do their job compared to the municipal police forces. I do know municipal cops earn roughly 5,000-10,000$ more a year though.

From a security standpoint, inhouse security is usually better due to the higher pay/benefits/ also harder to get into due to higher qualification requirements due to more competitive applicant pools. I'm not sure how contract vs non contract compares in policing.

I don't think contract policing would solve the issue, actually I think it would make it worse in most cases.

Typical state cuck that thinks throwing money at everything is the solution.

The problem is the state itself.

>Arrest less people because the PD is too busy pocketing money
>See guys crime went down! Wtf I hate fascism now.
Either that or they're way less hard on drug offenders since they don't have a quota to reach.

They place a camera in a random corner and count how many niggers pass in front of it in any given day.

>Private enterprise being able to allocate resources better than government and obtain a better result at any given goal.
I was utterly shocked too.
Would government police?

That's a dangerous game they're playing. A private firm isn't bound by the constitution the way a police department is.

It isn't really a town, more of a community. They just didn't renew their contract with the county police department and went with a private security firm instead. Given their size I bet it works wonders.

LOL, I'm sure the reduced stats have NOTHING to do with the fact that the local LE is run by ex-SEAL's.
Niggers might be dumb, but the're prolly smart enough to stay clear of trained assassins

What law? Their is only a few ways to measure crime. One NCVS and UCR. Both of which are not mandatory. The UCR gets their information from only police departments and the only ones in which want to enter their information. You know private prisons are in the shit hole right now for not giving data.

i could see it working great in tiny towns and makes me think it would work great in a nigopolis too

If a private police force has the authority to kill niggers with abandon instead of patrolling with kid gloves, then I'm for it.

> Since we’ve been in there, an independent crime study that they’ve had done [indicates] we’ve reduced the crime by 61%” in just 20 months, says James Alexander, Director of Operations for SEAL. You read that right: Crime dropped 61% in Sharpstown in just over a year and a half.

OF fucking course the director says an "independent study" proves it but does not say who it was conducted by and what perimeters. Look up private prisons and see what privatization of a governmental entity does.

>no one to arrest anyone
>arrests drop

The police are garbage. They're completely controlled by unions, so they don't put any effort into their job.

Some states like Texas and California still have "states rights".

they sure put a lot of effort into pulling me over

They're employees of the city so its totally possible, but something tells me this is a majority white city, you do this in the northeast and you'll have anarchy in the worst sense

i wouldnt either if every move I make is scutinized.

>you do nothing.... DO YOUR JOB

>you do something.... WHY ARE YOU SO AGRESSIVE

>They're completely controlled by
political correctness

>My country has contract policing (RCMP) not sure how it has effected crime

Crime here is ridiculously low. Montreal, a city of 4 million, got it's first murder in march. The second largest city, Québec City, 700K or so, can go entire years without a single murder.

So no real complains about policing. Other than road policing which is clearly how they pay for themselves. But then I guess people could just not break traffic regulations.

Yes, but, at the same time, they're also not as legally protected as a government official/public servant would be. On the one hand, they are contractually obligated to observe the Constitution (never mind the moral, ethical, and for the city, political ramifications for not doing so), but on the other, they're simply private security with the authorization to carry firearms for self-defense only, and empowered by their employer to enforce certain, specific city ordinances, and to an extent, county, state and federal laws.

But, they are, at the end of the day, NOT a professional police force with the same tools and capabilities. The real danger is not that they "might not follow" the Constitution, but that they might encounter a situation that actual police agencies are (rather, "have been shorehorned into since the late 1960's") trained and intended to deal with. This includes everything from Active Shooters, hostage takers, Heat-style heavily armed bank robbers, terrorists, bombs, and, yes, melanin-enhanced individuals of lower economic strata deciding to "peacefully" make their "opinions" and "needs" known to the public (niggers nigging, rioting, and looting).

Additionally, if one of them has to deploy their firearm and use lethal force in such a situation, they wouldn't have the same protections as cops when it comes to the legal system. They are, specifically, not cops. Thus, their actions would be judged as private citizens acting in a law enforcement capacity as empowered by their jurisdiction. Would the city provide a lawyer if one of them has to put down a lumbering Harambe? Police Unions do. Could the city protect them from a law suit? Or their employers? Even frivolous ones that get dismissed still require the accused to show up, Lawyer up, and be prepared to see the enraged family Chimp Cage.

(1/2)

That's THE WHOLE POINT of private policing, to be able to CHOOSE who is going to do the protecting and enforcing of rules.

Very few would hire a police force of trannies and lesbians. And most would like to hire ex trained assasins or whatever fits them most. Tranny/lesbian police forces, by the way, is a scenario that only could possibly happen via government pandering to minorities.
Government is bound by a constitution that it itself has to enforce. That's like chasing a unicorn. Your country is the living proof of it.

The police here are pretty shitty. Arrogant entitled and always power tripping. I would be okay with privatizing them. I like police better than niggers though.

Harambe was a National Socialist you faggot.

It's basically impossible for them to get fired. It's the same way with teachers in public schools.
I think almost no burglaries/robberies in my city get solved.

>doesn't say the actual drop in crime but hides it behind a percent
>doesn't say what type of crime is lowered, there might be less jaywalking for all we know
>doesn't say the length of time being compared. Is it down year over year? Just for the current month/week/day?

There are lies, damned lies and statistics

>reported crime down by 61%
>reported
>rob $10k from a store
>private police officer comes along
>"I'll give you half if you let me go"
>reported crime down by 61%

Build a wall. A Nigger Wall.

So, the Security Guards, with this in their minds, would - of course - probably be less likely to use their firearms unless Harambe was attacking them specifically. And less likely to use ANY force in general. While this IS a good thing for actual, innocent, honest citizens that happen to be darker skinned (they do exist) that don't want to become a victim of a mistake or out-and-out actual police murder that might get covered up and the subject of the next riot, it's a BAD thing when some actual serious shit goes down that a Security Guard - no matter how well trained - simply cannot deal with, since they're just not on the same level as actual police departments. This being weapons-wise, authorization and will to use them, resource-wise, capability (forensics, investigation capability [though, as I recall, the Texas DPS is actually doing all their criminal investigation for them, or the local Sheriff's Department], training and retention of specialized individuals, access to things like the INTERPOL crime files, etc.) and actual or perceived authority and legitimacy.

Here's another thing to consider - talking about legitimacy, here. Would any Cred Forumslacks here actually take a Security Guard seriously if he tried to pull you over? Or would you think it a case of a Mall Ninja trying to play cop?
What if they confronted you on the street and started asking questions? Would you answer or ignore them?
What if they tried to arrest you, or write you a ticket? They're Security Guards, after all - would you take it seriously, if you had no idea this is what the local city had hired to replace cops?

So, while I do applaud them for providing an alternative to government police (which has its own faults, I'm not saying they're perfect - and those faults are part of the reason this is getting traction), I'm concerned about what could happen because they're NOT. Not what the individual guards COULD do, but what they might NOT do.

>The Sharpstown Civic Association then hired S.E.A.L. Security Solutions

With what money?

I'm a Houstfag. This story is retarded. Sharpstown is in Houston proper, so they never stopped being under the jurisdiction of the Houston Police Dept, what happened was they contracted with our county constables to have extra patrols. They fired the constables and hired SEAL Security, instead.

I'm not entirely sure crime actually dropped 61%, or if SEAL stopped paying attention to little piddly shit like Public Intoxication, so those crimes go unreported, thus, a drop in crime. Also, crime comes and goes in waves, and this could have been a natural phenomenon. I'm familiar with both the constables and SEAL Security (I'm HPD), and neither are all that amazing. SEAL guards are dudes that can't become police because of their criminal history, or shitty credit, or maybe they failed out. Some of them are motivated though, I'll give them that.

They're basically a Home Owners Association

I've an even better deal - hire local gangs to police their ghettos, crime will vanish altogether.

How would police control crime rates? I can see them controlling arrest rates, but how do they stop someone from committing the crime in the first place?

>I've an even better deal - hire local gangs to police their ghettos, crime will vanish altogether.
Protection money is as old as the state itself

Capitalism.

ghettobastards.com

>We pay you to kill yourselves.

Statists BTFO

>no police to check crime
>crime rate "drops" because no one is around to enforce law

great job everyone

>Fire police
>No police anymore to catch crimes and whatnot
>Consequently, see no crimes registered

Hm.....

That's because there''s no police department anymore to keep track of the crime statistics. lol @ libertardians.

Protection money IS the state itself.

>implying anarchy isn't better anyways

Protection money IS the definition of state.

Do you guys believe everything you read on here

Many crimes happen cause someone does not pay his protection fee.
If gangz are paid by the state/town, this problem will not occur

Fake and gay

>Tex, the 6'2" 220lb ex-SOF professional soldier makes a better police officer than Lequandasha, the 5'2" 220lb WOC who was hired to meet anti-discrimination quotas
really gets those synapses firing

>good goy

>Coercion and intimidation is fine as long as the state isn't doing it

Hmm really making me think here.

I wouldn't.
They're a private citizen, so if they laid a hand on me, I would defend myself.
I might not be a dick, but I wouldn't be necessarily nice.

>fire my doctor
>no more diseases

I win

>refuse to fight enemies
>literally cannot lose

Wow. Trudeau is really on to something with this style of reasoning.

aw shiet, they using PMCs for police now?

we are all fucked

Dis you read those? It didnt deny but somewhat confirmed OP. Basically the borough (not town) didn't renew a certain contract and instead went with another security company, crime did reduce a lot but it's still a dangerous place overall. So they're not fully private police but things did get better.

how many niggers and spics do they have in that town?

probably a mix of both. Plus as private sector employees they don't have the entire judicial system protecting them from consequences so they actually have to stop and think before they rush into situations and escalate.

>arrest less people because no cops
>look crime went down

l m f ao

...

I think this would have the opposite effect.

The private force wouldn't have the protection of the police union, it wouldn't have relationships with State prosecutors and judges and they would be more likely to be held accountable for fuckups meaning they would be more cautious.

this. If you live in a safe area police basically spend all their time busting up high school parties and giving people tickets on their way to work. fucking useless.

I feel bad for cops in dangerous areas tho. what a shit job.

>not a savalette guardian or a colt manhunter
fucking pleb tbqh

They probably don't have diversity training

It gets oversold and the results are somewhat dubious. I don't know the specifics in Houston, but there are potentially alternative explanations for why crime decreased.

I do know of a city that tried to privatize their police force, but decided it wasn't feasible. Sandy Springs, Ga (an affluent Atlanta suburb) privatized as many government services possible when they incorporated. They weren't able to get private companies to take over police and fire because the insurance premiums would have been crazy high.

Seems like they would be much more concerned with crime prevention rather that "Law Enforcement".

They know most people won't take them seriously if they are being hassled for minor infractions so they will have to be more tactful than a State cop who will just threaten to ruin your day(or your whole life if they feel like it) for a minor infraction.

Their only job should be protecting private property and private spaces and allow State law enforcement to deal with the public space. Think of them as armed, trained citizens who you can call to situations instead of cops. I'm sure there are many instances where this is preferable to low IQ cops who will just start issuing citations and making arrests when they show up.

That's how governments got started

so many bootlickers in this thread

>implying this doesn't happen with the real police as well
