Private Security Functions as it Relates to the Various Components of the Criminal Justice System

The objective of this work is to analyze major components of the criminal justice system which includes private security functions with a focus upon improvement of the interaction between law enforcement, private security the courts and institutional and community corrections over the next 15 years. This is a 15-year plan that should take into consideration the aspects of budgets, revenue, expenditures, communication, technology and cultural aspects of the organization that can be improved.

ASPECTS of CYBERCRIME RELATING to LAW ENFORCEMENT and PRIVATE SECURITY

"Working with Law Enforcement to Abate Cybercrime: Cyber Security Guidelines" states that increasing dependence of society upon technology "has brought about enhanced business functionality and productivity while simultaneously exposing our organizations to more frequent and severe threats. Securing organizations in this 'Internetworked' society demands better cooperation with law enforcement (LE), since it is uniquely positioned to provide critical and specialized information services beyond the capabilities of any single organization. Cyber attacks on businesses can crush the company's bottom line and weaken the stability of the Internet." (2006) Additionally stated is that since, for the private sector, the driving forces are productivity and profitability of the business. Businesses in today's global economy should focus upon culturing: "...the same trust with law enforcement to remediate cybercrime so that reporting a hack or insider compromise of our digital assets becomes as second nature as reporting a breaking-and-entering of our physical buildings." (Commission of the European Communities, 2006)

II. INTEGRATION REQUIRES STANDARDS

One viable option of integration of private security and law enforcement is via networking such as has been accomplished in various regions on the United States in task force method formed for the purpose of information sharing in combating crimes. The work of the Commission of the European Communities (2006) entitled: "Green Paper: On Detection Technologies in the Work of Law Enforcement, Customs and Other Security Authorities" states: "An enormous range of technological possibilities exists in areas concerning detection and associated technologies and the work of the security authorities. Therefore, minimum standards are required. However, given this range the process of standardization must be prioritized, which is only possible if there is sufficient interaction between the public sector (needs) and the private sector (solutions). At European level, this interaction is considered to be insufficient by both public and private sectors." (Commission of the European Communities, 2006) This work additionally relates that not only is the nature and threat of crime "changing with time, it is also becoming increasingly mobile. Hence, security authorities require portable solutions." (Commission of the European Communities, 2006) These solutions not only offer effectiveness in terms of cost but also may be "readily transferred from one locating to another where they are most needed." (Commission of the European Communities, 2006) the solutions that are portable and mobile in nature are stated to:."..offer new operational approaches." (Commission of the European Communities, 2006)

III. IMMEDIATE PURCHASE of TECH TOOLS NOT NECESSARY

Due to associated costs the purchase of completely new technology solutions is not stated to be a requirement and "attention should also be paid to how existing and previously purchased tools can be put to more efficient use or upgraded. More study is stated to be needed in the area of:

1) technology and the protection of mass events;

2) obstacles to cooperation and information-sharing among forensic laboratories and security research institutes;

3) legal provisions regulating the use of specific detection technology;

4) practical use of specific detection technology;

5) legal framework governing the use of personal detection (including surveillance) across the EU;

6) levels of acceptance of personal detection (including surveillance and use of biometrics) across the EU. (Commission of the European Communities, 2006)

IV. VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES EXIST

This study states that there are several categories of detection technologies, which include:

1) hand-held detectors;

2) detection portals;

3) surveillance solutions;

4) biometrics detection;

5) data- and text-mining tools; and 6) other software-based detection tools. (Commission of the European Communities, 2006)
