With recent chaos and crime spawned by the George Floyd killing, it is more critical than ever to reassess and repair law enforcement.
This can be greatly enhanced with the synergistic support of elite private protection services.
We can be better, together.

The latest in a string of highly sensationalized police killings has seemingly unleashed new levels of hell on earth, with historic and devastating rampages by various incendiary mixes of rioters, looters, and even organized criminal enterprises engulfing entire cities all over the USA and even around the world. The destruction has been nothing short of catastrophic, and the fears and concerns over safety and the security of property & livelihoods have skyrocketed along with it. This recent nightmare has seen increased presence and force applied by law enforcement agencies and even the deployment of the National Guard. With recent incidents involving serious police misconduct leading to calls for reducing police funding & capacity, the need for effective protection services and the securing of public and private safety is greater than it has ever been in modern history.

One aspect of increasing the range and efficiency of the police is an active and informed integration of professional private protection agencies. Strictly from an intelligence perspective, private security firms can provide extensive monitoring and communications capabilities that police departments can utilize to greatly expand their reach throughout the community. With a finite amount of personnel, the police simply cannot be in every place that might benefit from their presence, and private protection agents can stand in that gap. Those agents can also utilize their more intimate and personalized knowledge of local individuals and assets to provide critical intelligence to police as they execute their law enforcement duties. This highlights the importance of private agencies developing strong relationships and efficient forms of communication with both the police departments and the clients and communities that these private agencies are serving. By forming these connections and maintaining vigilance in the service and support of safety and lawfulness for all parties, private protection officers become a central pillar in the bridge between peace and pandemonium.
