Come to think of it, not a bad idea. If a number of large cities outsourced their policing duties to a private firm things might be much better. Private security officers could focus on actually fighting crime rather than enhancing municipal revenue with speed traps, DUI road blocks, McGruff the Crime Dog, and D.A.R.E. programs.

I’ll bet Blackwater would bid on it.

Blackwater is no more. Eric Prince left and the company is now known as Xe.

Or Pinkerton could go back to its roots. Continental Op redux.

You just might be on to something here.
