Rejected petition Not to privatise the police force

More details

The government has plans to privatise the police forces of the UK. It is outsourcing services to security such as Group 4. It could lead to corruption, and even more lack of resources as profit is put before service.
This would be a massive experiment with very broad boundaries areas include investigating crime, patrolling neighbourhoods.
