I am currently working with the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department, homeland security division, in preliminary matters regarding private security officer training and involvement in anti-terrorist efforts.
I recently submitted a program, (Direct Intervention for Victims of Emergencies (DIVE Team)(c)), to the Department, which I wrote in 2002. My program is designed to incorporate select trained security officers into front line government responses to serious or otherwise mass emergencies within the U.S., involving both natural and man made castrophies. If my program is accepted, it will be the first of its' kind in the U.S.
In researching various subjects I came across this article involving Blackwater, U.S.A. which is a private security company that has several major contracts with the U.S. military to provide private security services in Iraq and elsewhere. Blackwater U.S.A. proposes and has received preliminary approval to open and operate a civilian / military anti-terrorist training camp within the U.S., it too will be the first of its' kind.
However, Blackwater, U.S.A. is not the only private security company to provide anti-terrorist private security services under contract with the U.S. government. In 2006, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began certifying private security corporations to operate under contract in anti-terrotist efforts, to-wit, some corporations provide an "array of robots, aerial surveillance drones, computer systems and transponders that detect trespassers with biochemical sensors."
Therefore, the question I wanted to pose is:
What are your feelings about private security officers playing a major role in front line government responses to serious or otherwise mass emergencies (both natural and man made) within the U.S.?
