Involvement of private security companies in major events: To be or not to be? That seems to be the question.

The G4S debacle had placed the involvement of private security companies in major events in the spotlight.

Although this is a topical issue, it is not a new one. Recently Poland and Ukraine handed the event security functions over to private security companies with success, whilst Brazil is in the process of planning to do the same. In both countries, the government security forces have traditionally performed this task.


See my article in the link below to form your own opinion on whether the UK government response to the G4S issue is a knee jerk reaction or whether it is justified.
