The security company that calls itself POIICE ends up being exactly what you'd expect.

bluelivesmatter.blueLakewood, WA – The owner of Lakewood “security company” POIICE, Michael Landen, Jr., has been arrested for impersonating a police officer and assault after he pointed a gun at a man’s head while posing as a police officer.
King County Sheriff John Urquhart said that Michael Landen told the driver that “he was a cop,” and “pulled a gun on him.”
Michael Landen’s security company’s name is P.O.I.I.C.E. He wears a badge that at first glance seems to read ‘Police’. The name is an acronym for Professional Officers Involved in Community Enhancement.
Sheriff Urquhart said that he believes Landen is a danger to the community not only because of his pending charges but also because he worked security in the Air Force until he was “involuntarily committed.” Court documents show that Landen’s commanding officer told Investigators that “he was no longer able to be armed while serving in his capacity” in the Air Force. His commanding officer also told Investigators that the Air Force had ongoing concerns about Landen impersonating police officers.
Sure seems like a guy who watched one too many cop movies and got hit with the wacky stick somewhere along the way too.
edit: I also didn't realize that this happened back in March, right after the Facebook page for this clown show was posted here. Dang it.

Yeah, sorry you shared the same job title as this clown. It's jacked up.

Between this and the bounty hunter story, I feel like we're seeing some good evidence that the idea of privatizing the police should be met with skepticism.

The problem is training and standards. Virginia has a few fully private police agencies, but they still send their officers to a state accredited academy, and as far as I know there have never been any issues with them. One department even has an agreement with the county they are located in allowing them to patrol just outside their jurisdiction as well.

If you have a strong stomach, google the force publique.

I've seen some vehicles in Houston that say PULICE on them, but thankfully it's a construction company, not a security firm.

Someone posted an article when they started up, and I knew this would be the end result.
But can we talk about this:
Like, dude just left all that shit in his car? Especially a loaded handgun?
That shit would be stolen so fast if it was left out in a car in my city.
You leave the Hi-Point in plain sight so they don't steal the Sig in the truck vault.
