[pdf] Edmonton Police Commission (Canada) 19/4/2020 Report What lockdown? It’s business as usual for drug traffickers On Tuesday this week border control cops stopped a van with a shipment of face masks coming through the Channel Tunnel. When they checked the masks they found almost £1 million worth of cocaine tucked in among them. It was a similar story a week earlier. A man called Benjamin Evans was pulled over by the Welsh police on the A40 Brecon bypass. Evans claimed he was a key worker but when the cops searched his car, they discovered nearly £60,000 worth of cocaine. ‘Possession of drugs with intent to supply does not qualify as essential work,’ said the arresting officer. There have been reports recently of a fall in the demand for ‘party drugs’ like cocaine, and of course lockdown has meant a few glitches in the usual supply chains — speed bumps, let’s call them — but the lesson of the face mask shipment and Evans the key worker is that by and large the drug trade remains remarkably unbothered by the Covid crisis.

Crime threatens the stability of SMEs and is one of the leading reasons these businesses fail. Using semi-structured interviews with 38 businesses located in five different neighbourhoods throughout Detroit, this study explores SMEs perspectives on the impact of private policing. Findings from the data highlight three important themes: First, the ways in which SMEs use private policing services varies according to their location within the city and their proximity to larger corporations; Second, there are certain services that are used by SMEs irrespective of their location within the city, and the rationale for how these services are used is the same across businesses; Third, public-private law enforcement partnerships can greatly benefit SMEs, but such partnerships are most effective when they include the private police forces of larger corporations.
