People expecting improvements by Hopkins hiring private police are forgetting a few things. The candidate pool for hiring will likely come from BPD. Does anyone believe an OA will eliminate turf issues? How many times have we heard about cops not assisting someone because it was "outside their district"? I can't imagine the labs in the city will play nice with them when they can barely keep up with their own workload.

Hopkins could've lead the way on how to help a neighborhood without feeding the incarceration pipeline. Instead they decided to appease people who don't live here while ignoring those that do.
