Really loved this piece in TIMES. Had no idea that Allied Universal became America's third largest employer after Amazon and Walmart with its acquisition of G4S.
I saw and read your article in a print version of the TIMES mag that gets sent to my school.
Hello Alana, I'm so glad you are covering this. It's an absolutely critical field about which most people know nothing, yet private security is being cast as the savior for dealing with rising crime and civic unrest...a recipe for catastrophe that doesn't address root causes, or problems within security itself.
Here is a Substack post I wrote about my own experience as a licensed security officer. What seems especially important is the unethical under-investment in training: https://razmason.substack.com/p/money-and-violence
