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.
We are now at CONDITION TWO. Cock and Lock!!!!
Revolution is brewing!
Toward FREEDOM!
Stability Police Force (SPF).
NO I am against this 100, 000, 000%. They probably wouldn’t even have to be sworn to defent the Constitution!~
From the cover sheet of the report:
Anyone know who these people are?
I suppose they think if they start it small it won’t be noticed as much and then they can add on.
This sort of crap is why I like things to be as local as possible.
Schools were better under local control, congressmen and senators were better under local control, police are better under local control.
Imagine how the leftists would screech at such a proposal during the Bush administration.
Wouldn't it just be simpler to instead name it "STASI" and reuse the already existing signs, letterheads, and armbands?
The EPA, Post Office, and other federal agencies already have armed SWAT teams. I saw the EPA goons in action in Amarillo in the mid 90’s (94, I believe), raiding a company that handled medical waste. Green Broncos, flack jackets, M-16’s and 9mm’s. EPA SWAT on their jackets. These were some of Clinton’s 100,000 new police officers, I guess.

Are you serious?
Pres. Bush. created DHS!
Ask me about my AR-15.
(redfaced) I was until I got to Bubba Ho-Teps post @19.
I am getting a stronger and stronger vibe every drill weekend that the Obama administration is trying to destroy the National Guard.
I guess they are scared the good old boys in the Guard will resist government oppression like they did in 1775.
