Leaked emails show crime app Citizen is testing on-demand security force
This is usually a sign of some perceived failure of the public option.<p>Public schools in NY not delivering education some folks expect -> market starts for private schools.<p>Existing delivery service not able to do guaranteed same or next day delivery -> merchants and others will build out their own capacity.<p>My guess is that as police are defunded (Minneapolis is getting rid of police department entirely) folks who can pay and see a role for security will probably contract for it. In the bay area this is already happening to a small degree.<p>It used to be you could walk into a lot of office buildings freely, now pretty tight security in some downtown areas (ie, public security option / service options are very poor and not maintained). So we get elevator passes and lockouts, security person downstairs,  turnstiles, bathrooms all got doors with RFID door locks.
