Philipsburg Bike Patrol Good or Bad?

Sorry but I still have some reservations about this bicycle surveillance group from Sheriff Security. I don’t know if it is a good thing to have a private company just provide security in public places without some kind of law describing what they are allowed to do and not allowed to do.
If as the case was mentioned that they are only an extra set of eyes, then maybe a camera surveillance system might have been a better option. It is only natural that this bike patrol will have some kind of interaction with the public. How can we be so sure that these bike people are actually trained in aspects of conflict resolution, hand to hand combat or whatever else they may need to be equipped with?
Now, I not anti-foreigner or anything like that, but there is a reason that not too many locals work as security guards. The word on the street is that the guards are underpaid and not all benefits due to them are given to them. There are also persistent rumors that some instances of exploitation are prevalent in this industry.
With these rumors on the street, do we really want to take a risk that some of these bike patrol may be disgruntled, under-paid, exploited employees. Additionally, are there any background checks done on these bike patrol officers or security guards in general. There have been several robberies that security guards were suspected of being involved in.
To make this patrol permanent in areas frequented by the public, I think government should contact the VKS and the Police and organize an appropriate training program with the appropriate background checks and establish a permanent force.
This force could be responsible for traffic violations, assisting police when patrolling, security at public functions, etc. The salary and benefits should be at a level where young locals are actually interested in doing the job and the career path should be another major incentive.
