THE RECORD
Bergen County’s three law enforcement agencies — the Bergen County Police Department, Prosecutor’s Office and Sheriff’s Office — deploy civilian security guards in public facilities, a service that a recent report recommended should be outsourced to save taxpayers as much as $2.2 million over the next five years.
Bergen County Police Sgt. John LaDuca outside the Bergen Community College student center in Paramus. A recent report recommended that outsourcing security services to public facilities in the county could save taxpayers as much as $2.2 million over the next five years.
The report issued by the New York-based Guidepost Solutions in May is best known for its recommendation that the county police be downsized or eliminated. But many of the other findings within the 192-page report have not been discussed by public officials, including the conclusion that the county could save $365,000 to $440,000 a year if the three agencies hired private companies to provide security guards.
