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.

ReplyDeleteA 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.
