As a former LEO now on the private side of the "thin blue line", I am very interested in LE-Security relationships and why they seem to be so pathological in many cases. My early impression is that it's not what many people seem to think (fear of losing LE jobs), but more due to traits or characteristics of the security industry. However, I don't want to color your answers. I would welcome any and all opinions on this question, which I will ask in two ways (you might wish to answer both):
1. What do you believe the security industry can or should do that would be most beneficial in terms of improving LE-Security relationships?
OR...
2. What characteristics, methods, etc. of the security industry do you believe are the most damaging to LE-Security relationships?
I realize that for some of you the answer to either question might be very long (!!), so you might wish to limit your answer to the top one or two items on your list.
I'd prefer to limit this to the opinions of sworn officers or recently retired LEO's, please.
Thanks very much!
