TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Counter-terrorism across the Policing Continuum JO - Police practice and research A1 - Whelan, Chad A1 - Palmer, Darren SP - 449 EP - 465 VL - 7 IS - 5 N2 - Over the past two decades private and hybrid forms of policing have grown considerably in Australia. As a result, governments have begun to recognize the role played by non-state police agencies and personnel in the provision of public order and safety, further extending and legitimizing non-state policing. In addition, the private ownership of critical infrastructure and ‘communal spaces’ has led to a central role for non-state police in the area of ‘high policing’ counter-terrorism. In response to changes to the auspices and providers of policing, state police were beginning to explore new ways of working with private and hybrid forms of policing, with the emergence of a new type of experiment in policing partnerships, the Police–Private Security Committee (POLSEC). This paper examines these trends and implications for ongoing developments in Australian policing.
