@JohnFPfaff That's a great point (I need to see if I can look up private security numbers for Europe). But in terms of budget priorities, the public police seems important especially because cutting police spending could plausibly lead to more private security. — PolitiTweet.org

I was looking up the comparison to Ireland for idiosyncratic reasons and it's striking. They have ~290 sworn officers per 100,000 people and we have ~218. But we have *nine times* Ireland's incarceration rate. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnFPfaff It sounds like the UK is the world leader in terms of private security outnumbering sworn officers. https://t.co/fEk33XeOpJ — PolitiTweet.org
