To whom it may concern, I would like to open up the idea for a private security company called "ISM." After sifting through the forms and reading up on what people currently want, I took a stroll down criminal lane and noticed that for every "legitimate" business idea, there was easily two or three criminal masterminds ready to take over the world... or something close to it. With my initial intentions of pursuing an advit carrier in law enforcement in the Identity realm, I have sense been turned off by the idea. I have noticed a very strong brick and mortar like structure behind what is to come of law enforcement and this is something I hope to lean away from. My out reach is this, If you have an interest in owning you own bar/night club, producing artwork of the verbal or written type, delivering goods to customers, or even if an independent civilian just feels scared; what happens when public law enforcement isn't enough? As a bank owner, or store manager, what happens when you call for help and that help takes 5 or 10 minutes to arrive? What happens in the mean time? Who makes sure your precious creation, your work of art, is safe during a public ark showing? Political figures and upper class citizens, who is to keep you and your family safe when police officers can't be there 24/7? If you would like to express interest in ISM please let me know, or leave an idea.

Afternoon, I have surfed the forums, I got wet, and at the end I didn't find what I was looking for, so here I am. I am inquiring about an earlier comment regarding law enforcement's inability to wear civilian clothing when on duty, and the latter. My question would be, if individuals expressed interest in providing private security, would there be assets in place for them to do so? ie: would they be able to utilize law enforcement type restraints, vehicles and weapons? I am curious as to what the limitations are between civilians and law enforcement? If this thread is misguided and I just had water in my eye while surfing, please let me know what beach I should be surfing! Thanks again,

Thank you for your response! It was very helpful. Is there a substitute for there being no armor for civilians? And I am assuming there are not vehicles with roof mounted signal lights, that can be used by civilians? I ask this because I feel like with these limitations there literally can only be two sides, "the cops and robbers." Again, I am just trying to get a feel for the game, and some of its mechanics as well as opportunities within the game. With the constraints of having no armor, no dev provided uniform (I'm sure players can make something up from what I've read so far), no vehicles to alert other civilians of an issue, and probably a couple other thins I've missed, in your opinion, is private security even a potential profession in this game?
