A Stability Police Force for the United States
Rand Corporation ^ | Several

Posted on 12/07/2009 5:22:42 PM PST by FromLori

Justification and Options for Creating U.S. Capabilities

Establishing security is the sine qua non of stability operations, since it is a prerequisite for reconstruction and development. Security requires a mix of military and police forces to deal with a range of threats from insurgents to criminal organizations. This research examines the creation of a high-end police force, which the authors call a Stability Police Force (SPF). The study considers what size force is necessary, how responsive it needs to be, where in the government it might be located, what capabilities it should have, how it could be staffed, and its cost. This monograph also considers several options for locating this force within the U.S. government, including the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) in the Department of State, and the U.S. Army's Military Police.

The authors conclude that an SPF containing 6,000 people — created in the U.S. Marshals Service and staffed by a “hybrid option,” in which SPF members are federal police officers seconded to federal, state, and local police agencies when not deployed — would be the most effective of the options considered. The SPF would be able to deploy in 30 days. The cost for this option would be $637.3 million annually, in FY2007 dollars.

the TOTUS-reader has truly accomplished something historical — he has reconciled fascism and socialism.

Not much of a reconciliation in my opinion.

Under socialism there is no pretense of private ownership. Under fascism, business is “privately owned” but does as government demands....or else.

You do realize, don’t you, that this report was commissioned by the US Army

No, I did not. I would appreciate any links you may have so that I may learn more.

Just what we need in America. Another collection of jackbooted traitors to enforce tyranny and protect the Washington elite from the consequences of their unconstitutional conduct and actions.

And we now have both! And clearly, soon the shredded remnants of the 4th Amendment will be tossed onto the decaying bodies of the 9th and 10th.

The revolution WILL be televised.

Good evening.

What happened to that thread you started this weekend? The one I commented on regarding the Posse Comitatus Act?

Are they going to wear red coats this time around too? I hope so. Easier to see.

6,000 storm troopers. Yep, that size force will intimidate all of America.

That's about two storm troopers per US county.

There's about 36,000 sworn officers in the NYPD.

Just to keep things in perspective.

I often wonder if they have any idea of the size of the BUZZ SAW they will encounter should this nasty business come to fruition.

"The authors conclude that an SPF containing 6,000 people "

The authors are idiots. If the Feds create a "police force" like this, they're going to need a hell of a lot more than 6,000 people.

Here's the PDF of the actual report

On the fourth page or so it says "The research described in this report was sponsored by the United States Army under Contract No. W74V8H-06-C-0001."

This page, which compiles Pentagon reports, shows the report date as January, 2009.

They have much smaller, miniscule version of this, already in the bomb sniffing dogs that are paid for with fed grant money.

The agency gets to use the dog but if and when the feds say they need the dog, the dog and handler must report for duty.
