Private Security vs. Law Enforcement: Matrix Summary
"Private security and public law enforcement share many of the same goals: preventing crime and disorder, identifying criminals, and ensuring the security of people and property," ("Private Security and Public Law Enforcement," n.d.). There are many more private security officers than public police officers, making tandem projects and collaboration essential ("Private Security and Public Law Enforcement," n.d.). There may be some overlap between public law enforcement and private security, but generally the latter can be more highly specialized and are therefore useful in situations such as campus security.
Large privately owned facilities like the campus stadium require a dedicated staff of personnel, rather than a sporadic or incident response team. Therefore, security at the stadium during games can be best provided by the private sector. The public law enforcement agencies in the community can and should be alerted as to when games are being attended so that they can provide back-up support or ancillary...
First, the security officers will be specialized in dealing with the sporting events. Second, they operate with fewer restrictions but with greater focus (Adam, n.d.). The potential drawbacks to using a private security force at the stadium include the need for cohesive training that reflects the school and community legal and ethical codes, as well as appropriate procedures. Therefore, an officer training manual is critical.
Executive Summary of Appropriate Actions
The prime objective of the security force will be to maintain law and order, and ensure that all patrons enjoy the game safely. To accomplish these goals, security personnel will prevent anyone from entering the stadium with weapons and other potentially dangerous devices. This will require a brief security check of each patron before entering the stadium, after tickets are taken.
Officers will wear a uniform at all time to distinguish them…

In the scenario of a college football game, the private security officers will provide several services to the college which is the premises to which they are assigned. The primary role of the private security officers is to detect, deter, observe and report any incidences at the stadium. First, they will be in charge of checking the bags belonging to all persons willing to enter the football field to
Law Enforcement Benefits of GIS Applications for Law Enforcement Resources Police methods have changed dramatically around the world in recent years due to the advent of geo-positioning and improved computer-aided mapping techniques. As has happened throughout the history of policing, law enforcement officials have always tried to use new scientific research to their benefit. Since the object is the safety and comfort of local citizens, a major aspect of the mission for police
The middle of the decade of the 1980's was witness to the creation of the Technology Assessment Program Information Center and the Technology Program Advisory Agency. Their functions were as follows: Technology Assessment Program Information Center: Picked up laboratories for testing equipment, supervised the testing process, published reports concerning the results that the lab released after testing. Technology Program Advisory Agency: This was a large advisory body of senior local and federal
" (Muntenu, 2004) According to Muntenu (2004) "It is almost impossible for a security analyst with only technical background to quantify security risk for intangible assets. He can perform a quantitative or qualitative evaluation using dedicated software to improve the security of the information systems, but not a complete risk assessment for the whole information system. Qualitative assessment based on questionnaires use in fact statistical quantitative methods to obtain results. Statistical

At a minimum, the emergency plan should outline the respective risks capable of being anticipated along with appropriate procedures for implementing necessary response procedures and resource allocation. The emergency plan must include procedures for ensuring continual communication among responders as well as alternate means of communication; procedures for contacting entities outside the immediate area affected by the emergency; and multiple means of providing essential response to every foreseeable type
