How long would it take for the police to get involved and protect the site for free? Or do you think they would just ignore it? Does the law in USA say that if the victim of the crime is a company they have to hire private security and police is not involved?

This building is being developed by the university on university-owned land, so the university police would be in charge of protecting university property.

if there is a series of crimes in the area, police would increase patrols in the area.

Anything more than that would require hiring a private security company.

ground based security could easily be bypassed by a drone and with a remote igniter and a release latch.

Wow, I didn't realize the police in US is so dysfunctional they don't even investigate felonies anymore. It's like the government already collapsed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I never said they wouldnt investigate.

I was just explaining how they wouldnt become a private security force.

For free, probably never. The company can pay to have the police dedicate a force to sit there, but otherwise they'd at best send a patrol through the area a couple times a night.

Really? Police in US doesn't actively investigate crimes any more? I remember from The Wire that they used observe places where they knew crime is likely to happen. Crazy that they stopped.

They will investigate and increase the presence of police activity, but that doesn't mean they will protect the whole construction side.
