Private security in CHOP

Joseph Spiro [manager of Iconic Global] tells CHS that Iconic Global “high threat private protection” teams have deployed in the area protecting client businesses and residential properties with patrols and rapid response to threats and dangerous situations near the protest zone.

If you disband the police, then gangster warlords and private security companies will step in to fill the void.

[Minneapolis spokeswoman Sarah] McKenzie said the city has spent $63,000 over the past three weeks for security service for three council members. She said contracts for less than $175,000 typically do not need public approval from council, and they do not expect these expenses to surpass that threshold. The security is coming from two companies: Aegis and Belcom. McKenzie said the companies provide licensed, armed security officers.  The council members have been under increasing scrutiny since they and some of their colleagues gathered in Powderhorn Park earlier this month and promised to begin the process of ending the Minneapolis Police Department.
