policing contracts

Policing contracts are agreements between a government, usually a city or municipality, and a police service provider—either a police department or a private security firm. These contracts specify the level of police services to be provided, budget commitments, accountability measures, and performance expectations. They enable communities to tailor policing to their needs and ensure transparency and efficiency. Essentially, they formalize how police services are delivered, funded, and overseen, ensuring clarity for all parties involved.
