DHS Are Militarizing Local Police to Create Federalized Law Enforcement Agencies

Susanne Posel

In 2011 the consolidation of police departments to regional agencies became commonplace as budget cuts and funding was blamed for the cause of this merging of local forces into one encompassing police enforcement apparatus.

Under the creation of the Unified Police Department (UPD) in Salt Lake City, Utah jurisdictions and municipalities previously controlled by the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office was reallocated to UPD. This became the new police department and eventually the standard for other police departments across the nation.

DHS Are Militarizing Local Police to Create Federalized Law Enforcement Agencies

The UPD dissolved the Sheriff’s Office and installed a completely compromised police force that was essentially a hired security firm that could be manipulated by federal agencies or acclimated into a national police force in the future.

Two years ago Eric Cantor, Congressional Majority Leader, introduced a bill into the House of Representatives that encouraged private sector “police companies” to replace law enforcement on the State and local level by coercing a new police protection insurance that would tack on a fee to citizens for the use of “police protection”.

Cantor justified this move as justified for having citizens pay for the police to be called to scenes as a “communal service” that is contractual just as any other service or good is paid for. As a customer, the citizen would tell 911 dispatch their insurance information for payment purposes to be billed after the police were deployed to the scene, or services were rendered.

Turning local police departments into private security firms that provide services to the public was the scheme behind privatizing law enforcement.

militarized-police-puppetgovUnder state government contract, private security firms preform law enforcement services. With legislative bodies on both the state and Congressional level supporting this change, private corporations enter into contractual agreements with city councils to provide armed security patrol. Just as a rent-a-cop is hired to secure private property, local police departments are masked rent-a-cops that were hired by local government to secure their city.

This fact has been hidden from public scrutiny and has added to the blending of social perception of what the police are and what they do so that police services are able to function without question. At the same time, citizens are expected to pay fees for these “services” that were once inherent to life in a structured town or city.

In early 2012, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a report entitled “Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission” which outlined in part on how to redirect efforts of the federal government from international terrorism toward home-grown terrorists and build a DHS-controlled police force agency that would control all cities and towns through the use of local police departments.

DHS maintains that “the threat grows more localized” which necessitates the militarization of local police in major cities in the US and the training of staff from local agencies to make sure that oversight is restricted to the federal government.

The creation and implementation of fusion centers in urban areas was to “serve as focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information between the federal government and state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) and private sector partners.”

Private corporations have been parading as public servants policing cities and towns across America without the knowledge of the average citizen for quite some time. Just as the Department of Defense (DoD) hires private security firms such as DynCorp and Blackwater to stabilize populations of nations in foreign countries, the same ideology has been applied to American cities hidden in plain sight.

In states such as Florida , Minnesota , California , Louisiana and Massachusetts private security firms have replaced local police departments. Although they wear the same badges, these security firms are not there to uphold peace or enforce the laws and city ordinances. Just like any other corporation, they seek out opportunities to collect revenue for the benefit of the city that hired them.

imagesKnowing that these private armed guards are employees of private security firms hired by the city explains the laundry list of police abuses toward citizens without punitive action. Police officers are routinely placed on “administrative leave with pay” during an investigation with Internal Affairs (which is another term for Human Resources).

Last year Delaware was the scene of the introduction of legislation that would take away the power of the office of Sheriff because the seat is an election position and beyond the control of private security firms. The bill, HB 290, was created out of retaliation for an outspoken Constitutional Sheriff. According to the legislation: “‘Police officer’ as used in this code shall not include sheriffs and sheriff deputies,” and that it “is the intent of the General Assembly to specifically state the sheriffs and their deputies do not have any arrest authority.”

Although this bill was stricken from the legislative docket, the Delaware Supreme Court stated that sheriffs and deputies are constitutionally enabled and empowered to authority of arrest.

The militarization of local police departments is not difficult to understand once it is known that these armed guards are employees of private security firms. This private public partnership (PPP) between city officials and those corporations contracted to preform services can easily be assimilated into the enhancement of DHS police state authority over townships and metropolitan cities within the US.

The very idea of the Office of Sheriff is the antithesis of this scheme to implement a national police state. And for this very reason every Sheriff should be supported and their authority preserved as one of the last bastions of Constitutional protection citizens may have to rely upon.

    What is now taking place in America is properly defined as a POLICE STATE, where every citizen is subject to arrest without access to legal representation. Not only being considered guilty until proven innocent we will be secretly sequestered for an indefinite period of time at their discretion void of any opportunity to have a court appearance or notify our loved ones. Now is the time for God to bless America, time is short. Please reference the National Defense Authorization Act, it’s all there.

    Having worked a career in Law Enforcement the author of this aritcle is off base in a number of areas. First, the concept of Regionalism in Law Enforcement is not a new off the shelf idea and has been around for many years. The philosophy has worked very well in the Fire Service bt has never caught on with local government for Law Enforcement. The big stumbling block is that local elected officials refuse to give up the political control of their Police. In the recent tough economic times, a few jurisdictions have been forced into rethinking that position and have joined regional groups. In rual America, it makes sense for standardization of hiring proctices, training consistency and centralized management. Still, I do not see a big trend to move to regionalization of law enforcement services and even where it happens, it is not done by the direction of the Federal Government. People are at an all time high in their distrust for the Feds and would reject any attempt to exert control over their local government.

    The author is also off base on her analysis of private security takng over law enforcement services. The vast majority of Police Departments are very sensitive about private security in their communities. This is because of lower hiring standards, quality of employees and their sometimes intefering with law enforcement services. Law Enforcement has done a lot during the last twenty five years to streamline it’s own organizational structure, hire civilians to perform non-critical tasks and focus attention of Police Officers on the higher priority issues. You may find a few cities around the United States who because of the lack of resources, no longer respond to alarm calls, with those are handled by private security companies. Other high income areas may hire a private security company to supplement local Police in patrolling the streets, but they have no Police powers and call the Cops when a problem is identified. As a general rule, people working in the Security Guard profession are those who could not meet the sandards to be hired as a Cop, or thosw who are retired Officers supplementing their income.

    Despite conspiracy theories of Blackwater and DynCorp type operations being planned by our government, I have seen no such efforts to this point. I have worked overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq for similar contractors and we were there to train the locals and not do their job for them. Blackwater does do some Police training in the United States, but it is primarily the more military style stuff for SWAT and Anti-Terrorism Teams. I might add that they do a very good job of traning local Police.

    While not trusting the Federal government any further than I can throw them, I see the potential for using Private Security against the American People in the same light as them bringing in troops from the United Nations. Both instances are unlikely because of the extreme dysfunction of the people involved. More likely to occur would be the staging of a national emergency giving the President an ability to declare Martial Law and use the military as his strong arm. That is something we have to worrry about because our guys are the best in the world.

    These types of actions will bankrupt the cities and counties and ultimately funds will stop flowing to the corporations that operate these private armies. Then they will go away. When business assets are seized small business won’t be able to meet payroll and the spiral will continue until no body can afford to operate a business and hire anyone. China then wins without firing a shot.
