  • Stop the use of private policing in Herts
    Private policing is not accountable to the public. G4S have a very dubious past and at no point has there been any consultation with the public of Hertfordshire to outsource police powers.

  • NO PRIVATE POLICING ON OUR STREETS.
    G4S is a private company and is known to charge a lot for bad service, low wages, and unreliable staff, probably because of low wages. There is no substitute for a State-owned police force.

  • stop G4S Police power
    Giving private companies more "public" power diminishes the ability of those public servants with the training and focus to use the power with the job. So, trined Police use Police powers: not untrained private G4S use police powers.

  • Keep police work in police hands!
    Because public safety and police matters should be fronted by the police, not an agency that has proven history of making big mistakes! How do you feel knowing this could be coming to your community soon? Scary isn't it.

  • Stop the Government selling off police work to incompetent G4S
    We have a skilled, trained Police force that is having its budget carved up, officers losing pay and benefits so that incompetent G4S can make more money from the UK Government despite being bailed out by the army when they completely messed up Olympic security

  • HERTS PRIVATE POLICE FORCE
    These powers should remain with the police where the citizen's rights are safe guarded by law and should not be given to a private company. G4S made a mess of security leading to the London Olympics and should not be working in such an important role on our streets and shopping centres.

  • Keep policing public in Hertfordshire
    Policing is a public service and depends on the consent of the community. Companies such as G4S should not be given police powers to stop and search citizens.

  • Keep police powers out of private hands
    We do not want to be stopped and questioned by people other than those officially in the police force. To employ an outside company to do this is not the right way to go as some of the people who will do the questioning are not always the upstanding citizens they are supposed to be. They would simply be glorified bouncers. We pay the police force to do the work and that's where it should stay. Employ more policemen rather than paying outside companies exorbitant fees.
