We've talked about it for years here, and it looks like it is taking hold. Seattle does not have "private police," but like L.A. and other cities, those that can afford it have armed security patrols for their neighborhoods and business complexes.
And I'll say it again - I don't believe for a minute crime is down in any major city - crime reporting is down, because it becomes a waste of time calling the police when no one is arrested or convicted.
