Public Safety & Private Policing
SecureLaw Ltd.sm
recognizes that the public and private sectors will increasingly work together
in the future. This is due to increasingly important public safety needs while municipalities face substantial economic constraints. Criminal gangs and
terrorist related threats combined with financial and operational constraints have resulted in great challenges for policing agencies. This has, or will, result in policing agencies not being able to provide
for the public safety needs of your environment or your community.
Simply stated, policing agencies need help. Going forward, private police can provide a necessary 
and cost effective supplement.
Private police, also known as “para-police,"
can perform basic police services such as patrol, alarm response,
and crime scene and street corner security. Private police also can help to deliver order maintenance
services that are critical to safe and orderly environments. In these ways, private police act as supplements for overburdened police departments.
We are uniquely prepared to facilitate service provisions
designed to support the administration and operation of policing agencies. As one of the foremost authorities of private policing in the country, Dr. Pastor has articulated private policing service arrangements, the related trends, and the legal and organizational framework in a comprehensive manner. He has developed and articulated private policing in three groundbreaking
books. He has done what no one else has accomplished: articulating how this service arrangement will be included into a new "model" of policing, called Public Safety Policing. In the end, the logic and need for private policing within the organizational structure of policing is both enlighting and provocative.
As a former patrol officer and former tactical police officer, Dr. Pastor has an excellent sense of the causal circumstances and the effects of crime--and of appropriate police procedures and standards. From a policy perspective, he has been inolved in hundreds of situations involving critical policy decisions. As an attorney, he has reviewed and critiqued thousands of cases involving police procedures. He has also negotiated police bargaining unit agreements and police policies. He has represented two police unions, and litigated numerous cases involving police discipline and discrimination. In addition, Dr. Pastor teaches legal, management and terrorism classes to police professionals, including numerous high ranking police officials. Dr. Pastor also serves as an adjunct faculty at the International Law Enforcement Academy, where he teaches police officials from countries around the world. Dr. Pastor is also the author of Security Law and Methods. This case book is articulates security best practices and relevant legal principles. He is also the author of Privitization of Police in America. This book is a groundbreaking analysis of private security in relation to its legal and functional work product. His new book is an insightful and provocative analysis portending the increase in extremist violence in contemporary America. This book entitled:Terrorism and Public Safety Policing describes the impact of terrorist and extremist violence, and certain pragmatic ways to protect against it. This book is a groundbreaking analysis of contemporary issues facing policing, including the impact of terrorism upon the policing "model."

Specifically, we can help you accomplish two critical objectives. First, a management
study will detail your current circumstances. Second, if a supplemental arrangement
appears useful and cost effective, we will facilitate the development of an alternative
service provision. For a more detailed description of these services, please
