the mayor requests that you undertake an exploratory study that considers a potential innovative way to address the rising tide of crime that have been employed by other jurisdictions for years where successes and disappointments have occurred. The mayor asks that you explore the suitability of privatizing all core police services in the city or even supplementing the police department with private security police to assist with their fundamental responsibilities. The mayor wants you to write a report that addresses the factors causing the increased crime in the city and the dynamics causing the police department's inadequacies. Additionally, the mayor wanted a comprehensive review of all the benefits and drawbacks or risks of employing private security to perform the duties of a police officer. The mayor specified that categories of inquiry should include, but not limited to, a brief introductory paragraph explaining the purpose of the report; a brief historical overview of the relationship between private security and law enforcement; pre-employment and training standards; regulation and licensing issues; social, constitutional and legal authority concerns; accountability for actions; overall professionalism and demeanor; and economic impact
