I do not believe that the privatization of police forces completely compares to most other public services. The only services that I think would even come close would be fire or ambulance service. I feel that the main reason emergency services stand alone is due to the life and death nature of their work. I think the tasks that a Police Officer are responsible for are things that only a highly trained and legally certified person should perform. And, personally, I feel more comfortable knowing that the men and women that are committed to keeping my town safe are armed with the right equipment to quickly stop a violent person. I would not feel as safe or comfortable if my safety were in the hands of an unarmed security
