Sharpstown, located southwest of Houston, decided in 2012 that regular public policing was proving wholly ineffective, and opted not to renew a contract with the constable’s office.
Instead the town’s civic leaders hired private security agents with the company SEAL Security Solutions, and devised a more effective policing strategy.
“Since we’ve been in there, an independent crime study that they’ve had done [indicates] we’ve reduced the crime by 61%” in just 20 months, James Alexander, Director of Operations for SEAL told reporters with guns.com.
Alexander believes that the reason for such a dramatic drop has come with more sensible policing in areas that need it the most.

That's what Salisbury needs to do.
Are you crazy? They answer to no one these security teams. We already have a sheriffs office without a sheriff. He's off playing Hollywood trying to get elected. And Salisbury chief is just trying to prove a wan can handle her job. More to that than faking stats chief!

I did read something and then read some more. I'm not dumb enough to take stuff at face value. How bout you?
A crime isn't registered as a crime until it is reported to authorities such as police. So if there isn't anyone to report the crime to, then it isn't a crime therefore crime goes down.
