One idea I think is really good is community supported policing.

Most businesses cannot afford Lance Armstrong’s private police. But you could organize a small group on a block that could together could afford these amenities. 

Start a private security firm with an SLA mandated response time for in person responders, and augment that with digital surveillance like Flock https://www.flocksafety.com/

Organize the community to say enough and sell to the group as a whole

More people are thinking about how to replace the void left by understaffed police https://x.com/2112power/status/1847108205845074106

are police actually understaffed? it just seems like they don't give a shit anymore

I can’t tell, honestly, if it’s actual understaffing or spiritual understaffing
