Private protection: in the blessing or in anything?
Private protection: in the blessing or in anything?
Zaledenivshie and till now not releasing I smother the terrorist
Explosions in Printers, on Kashirke, in Buinaksk and Volgodonsk have called
Boom in activity of every possible security firms. Anything surprising
In it is not present - people frankly are afraid for the life. Everywhere
Began to create committees and groups of tenants under the control for
Event round their houses, not especially relying on the promised
The authorities the help of militia. More or less well-founded Muscovites
Employ professional security guards as consider, that
Independently all of them cannot equally do anything, if and
Will notice something suspicious.
On traces of tragedies and in my house there were workers of one
From security agencies. The commandant on 60 roubles for a month has collected with
Apartments (and them 215) though money has handed over at all all - at
Someone money simply "just barely enough", someone has sceptically waved away.
Try supposedly protect round the clock enough the big house! Yes
Still far not the most athletic constitution security guards!
They and actually did not make impression of courage.
Or friable with "beer" stomachs, or cachectic, as if
Left times of ours of "great hunger" 20th years. Not
I undertake to judge their professionalism. Perhaps in it they and experts.
But these security guards basically in a commandant's room sat,
Played cards. Hour-other left on street, bypassed the house and
Again undertook habitual pastime. Pay, type
That, and the God with them...
At become by the talk of the town of "new Russian" all, of course,
Is differently. Types accompanying nouveau riches it is literally
Have captivated the Russian cities. Them you will unmistakably distinguish from
Usual people. Broad-shouldered, as a rule, "without a neck", they
Closely follow the person entrusted to him, on a step not
Admitting to it of strangers, or rush on streets in jeeps,
Forcing in a quickly way to be cleaned from their way stirred under
Car wheels. GAI officers, or as them now name,
Employees of motor licensing and inspection department, pretend, that at all do not notice
Event or simply turn away. That nerves in vain
To spend? Here a private trader to catch, so it - please. And with
That, "abrupt", what for to communicate? At them probably and a pistol for
Bosom lays. At them and documents everyones are, and licences.
Lawful, in a word, security guards, and all here.
And in America which it became nowadays very fashionable to follow an example,
All is and so, and not so...
At п п пЁп?я п п -45 conversation short.
... There was I it in the Californian Oakland absolutely
Casually. Absolutely still young (any 28 years!) Tim Fejrli
Obviously defied, patting itself on a bulletproof waistcoat
And showing impressive enough п п пЁп?я п -45 which it is cosy
Has taken places in a holster under the arm. By the way to tell, this it
The pistol - anyway under the statement - is capable to carry
The person practically on slices.
Having had a good long talk, especially with the journalist from Russia,
Garrulous Tim has jumped in white-red "Blazer" and
Has gone on the next 10-hour change - to struggle with
Criminality. Fejrli he said to me, that for an evening on the average
Runs to 100 miles, investigating burglaries, checking
The alarm system, talking to "its" inhabitants okrugi and making sure
In reliability of protection of their houses. Tima thank and embrace, but,
Happens, at it and shoot...
Fejrli - completely not police. It works in the company "Bej
elarm ", specialising on protection of private persons and them
Properties. From 10 000 houses okrugi in its conducting are
3000, located on the area in 6 square miles. Four
Once a week Fejrli and other security guards of firm not only
Patrol district. Into their duties enter also mail gathering
The clients who have driven off from a city, and their support home on
To nights, and answers to every possible calls. Before each such
The sign, notifying that it costs the house necessarily
It is protected "Bej elarm". Also it is protected for low enough
Payment: 35 dollars a month pay - and will be under its protection.
Eyes and police ears.
Though employees of firm do not react to crimes,
Made against those who is not the client of service,
Their presence at district as to me told, undoubtedly,
Is the deterrent for potential
Malefactors. "We - as if eyes and police ears. We do not wave
Hand if the house not our client is cracked, and we call in
The police station ", - shared Tim.
Really, for last years relations between police and
Firms on private safety have considerably promoted in
The cooperation plan. Parallelism of the purposes, a generality of threats and
Dangers, at last, crossing professional an open-cast mine
Have led to that at least it is conditionally possible to name quite
Actual symbiosis, vzaimopodderzhkoj. Business has reached even to
A certain similarity of formal associations. Both parties spend
Regular meetings for an exchange of opinions, and it, clearly, only
Promotes an establishment of close contacts, the best understanding
Problems each other.
First, of course, has not done without jealousy from the party
The police authorities which have seen in private security guards
Sorts feeble effort on their prerogatives. And that to tell -
The policeman is dressed by what-any power under the law, and in
Case with private concerns such is not present. Tim Fejrli, for example,
Only can call police on a radio telephone, interrogate
Eyewitnesses and to make so-called "civil arrest",
Is on the basis of the "zakonoposlushnosti and responsibility
As the citizen "to detain and deliver in a police station
Any brawler. To use the weapon to it it is authorised
Exclusively when his life or a life
Any other citizen it appears under direct threat.
And nevertheless in police numbers revolted: how so?! We -
The law, and it are nonprofessional rascals, zakolachivajushchie
Quite good dengu!
On three security guards - one policeman.
Time and financial realities, however, place all on the
To places. However, that at least in 11 states so till now and
There are no positions regulating activity of the private
Security firms. It is still possible to hear condemnation voices in
That sense, that their employees are not prepared properly.
Thus result such comparisons. We will tell, in the same Oakland
The beginning policeman should pass 22-week
Preparatory course plus to spend even 18 weeks on "the field
Employment ". Employed by security guards in the company" Bej elarm "
200 hours of preparation, including possession of the fire expect
The weapon, bludgeons and tear gas, before they
Will take up job...
And nevertheless development of a network of the security companies aloud plays
On a hand to the authorities, allowing them to save on police. This
The tendency has already national character. On
To data of National institute of justice, nowadays in the country
Is already 1,8 million private security guards, or three times
More than in police departments. In comparison with 1980
Year the gain has made the whole 68 percent!
Business on fear - profitable business.
All says that the next years on horizon for
This business of clouds it is not expected. As experts, if inform
In 1993 the American companies have paid 64,4 billion
Dollars for security guards, signalling and videosystems, for
Investigations and other security measures, by their 2001
Expenses on these purposes have made 103 billion dollars,
Increasing annually for 8 percent.
Money likes to consider all (if, of course, is what to consider),
Americans - especially. Have counted up them somehow in Boston.
Have counted up and have found out, that the maintenance of the city municipal
Polices and polices on protection of city property manages
Almost twice more expensively, than hiring of security guards from the private company. In
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Milwaukees and Seattle began to employ the private
Firms for protection of municipal buildings. More cheaply and not less
Reliably. Similar, as in New York are declined aside
The private security companies. Anyway the mayor of a city
Dzhuliani has supported the offer to create on east half
Manhattan certain "area of private safety", having employed nearby
1000 persons for protection of all buildings between 59th and 96th streets.
At least in five suburbs of Los Angeles security guards
The companies "Uestek the Security guard ink." Already carry out
Round-the-clock patrol of streets to prevent
Robberies, house thefts and thefts of cars. In San Francisco
Owners of hotels and the other real estate have acted with
The offer to impose the special tax for payment of the private
Security guards who would be engaged in struggle against beggars and
Prostitutes.
In a word, the market constantly extends, covering any more
Only protection of people and houses, but also public transport,
Parks and educational institutions. In some states local bodies
Go on formation of the mixed groups from police and private
Security guards, considering, what is it will allow to create notification networks in
The purposes of prevention of crimes. It is considerably expanded
Similar cooperation in business of struggle against the natural
Cataclysms. Employees of the security companies even more often
Co-operate with forces of national guards and
Military men in liquidation of natural disasters and in others
Emergency situations.
... For Americans my acquaintance Tim Fejrli means very much
It is a lot of. It after all near by also will always protect both the house, and quiet
Dream. And a life. For it it is necessary to lay out concrete money from
Own pocket. And after all who precisely knows that, where go
The taxes raised including on the maintenance of police? So you
Though it is assured, that you can supervise the safety itself.
Kind this feeling - confidence...
Vitaly of Ghana. Oakland - Washington - Moscow.
