SIW recently ran an article on how the DOE audit showed a defficiency in DOE Nuclear Security. One of the companies mentioned was Wackenhut Government Services, which provides private federal law enforcement officers for government contracts such as DOE, DOD, US Army, etc.
With DOE contracts so specialized, with such logistical issues as having limited law enforcement powers, responsibity for security of sterile areas, automatic weapons, and the rest of it...
How many contractors in the nation can successfully qualify and compete for these contracts? And, of those, how many can provide the calibre, for lack of a better term, of employee to work these sites?
The work is monotnous, just like other security work. The only difference is that there are red and blue lights on your truck, you have some federal arrest powers, and you carry an M4A3 when at work.
