Public Meeting No Private Profits From Policing !
West Midlands Against Policing for Profit | 19.09.2012 08:24 | Policing | Birmingham
The West Midland Police Authority is developing a Business Partnering for Policing Programme. Companies that have been shortlisted as possible suppliers of police services include G4S, KBR and Serco - companies that have been involved in serious human rights violations.
All this, at a time when the public needs the police to become more accountable and answerable.
What will handing over policing to private companies mean?
Speakers:
Jill Harrison, UNISON West Midlands Police Staff Branch
Gargi Bhattacharyya, West Midlands Against Policing for Profit
Speaker from Unite The Union
Dave Stamp, ASIRT

The STATEus quo is maintained by the Army, enforcing foreign policy, and the Policy Force, enforcing domestic policy. Contracting out the violence is hardly privatising anything. We won't get a free market choice wether or not to purchase these services, or who to purchase them from, as we do from genuine privet traders.
