Visible and competent security services can make a world of difference in enhancing a feeling of safety in a workplace, <\/span>event venue, <\/span>accommodation<\/span> or other public settings. When those security services are seen to be working alongside local law enforcement, <\/span>it<\/span> is even<\/span> more <\/span>of a comfort – and<\/span> more off-putting to any would-be troublemakers.<\/span> Let\u2019s<\/span> talk about <\/span>how<\/span> encouraging collaboration<\/span> between your <\/span><\/span>security patrol<\/span><\/span> and law enforcement <\/span>can provide mutual benefits for both organisations<\/span>, and what you can do to foster a successful partnership<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is preferable to the two forces being seen as opposing powers.<\/span><\/p>\n
