Public Private Partnerships – Necessary or Not?
In the move towards giving legitimacy to the private security system in the world of homeland defense, the public system has slowly, but surely, moved towards a partnership mentality, finally concluding that their resources are incapable of completing the job alone. This partnership can certainly change the scope of how risk is perceived and addressed.

Review the following statement: “Many times, public law enforcement agencies often do not possess complete intelligence information, enough manpower or enough funding. Generally, only the largest police agencies possess these resources. The large and growing private security industry is armed with considerable and often sophisticated resources to deter crime and prevent other losses in ensuring safety and security.” Is this a fair and rational assessment of how necessary private participation and partnerships are in homeland defense? Provide an example as to why or why not.
