State alternate history: Law enforcement & private security-patrols in New Israel

Armed Security Service/ASS:

The Armed Security Service is not really a single company, but rather, a conglomerate under joint ownership by Israeli, Saudi Arabia, & Chinese companies & a handful of businesspeople from aforementioned countries, in that exact order. 

It started a Pinkerton-esque private investigation & guard service based in the state of New Israel. But, it has since expanded from a law enforcement force that enforces nanny state rules just to keep the private prisons at 100%+ capacity into the armed wing of the police state & a gendarmerie heavily armed enough to crush insurgencies like a boot crushes an egg.

It’s basically the State’s de-facto state-level law enforcement agency, & corners the Private Security market within the state. The Armed Security Service is not really a single company, but rather, a conglomerate under joint ownership by Israeli, Saudi Arabian, & Chinese companies & a handful of businesspeople from aforementioned countries, in that exact order as a thinly-veiled way to funnel money to the companies & people that it owns. It personnel also uses much of its smaller equipment, such as small-arms & outfits, along with commissary items, from said countries.

It started a Pinkerton-esque private investigation & guard service based in the state of New Israel. But, it has since expanded from a law enforcement force that enforces nanny-state rules just to keep the private prisons at 100%+ capacity into the armed wing of the police state & a gendarme heavily armed enough to crush insurgencies like a boot crushes an egg.

The Fast Action Response Team is their equivalent of a SWAT team, with the following functions, in order from top priority to lowest priority:

. Functioning as the Praetoran Guard for the government & corporate ruling class (State Government officials, high ranking members of companies that get Government officials to do their bidding including lobbyists, etc).

. Keeping the rest of the Armed Security Service in-line.

. Serving warrants related to weapons, particularly confiscation.

. Arresting people who violate state tax laws.

. Hunting down truant K-12 students & their parents/guardians.

Enlisted Guards are NEVER allowed into the Fast Action Response Team; only Commissioned Officers & Warrant Officers are allowed in.

Because of the high prices for Officer’s Commissions, & the heavy nepotism involved in selling Officer’s Commissions which requires connections to high ranking members of the Armed Security Service, it’s common for an Enlisted Guard to stay as an Enlisted Guard & work harder than a workaholic for several years, doing things such as constantly volunteering for unpaid “overtime” every single day/night with no breaks & taking no days off or holidays off to prove their loyalty to the leadership of the Armed Security Service so they can enter training to become a Warrant Officer, which is an instant ticket from being barely above poverty or bottom working class to the upper middle class because the pay is high enough to thrive with a 99.99% income tax rate. Most Warrant Officers are members of the Fast Action Response Team, who undergo brutal, torturous training at least as hard as Russian Spetsnaz or North Korean Special Forces to pass.

In the State of New Israel, Private Security Guards (PSG's) who are not part of the Armed Security Service or under the command of the State Government have no law enforcement power. They may have the power to do a citizen's arrest, at best, but that's about it. Unless a situation gets particularly violent, they must call law enforcement.

Their uniform restrictions are as follows:

. Cannot be predominantly in the colors brown, green, or blue.

. The outermost top garment cannot be black. Black jackets, however, are tolerated.

. The outermost top garment must have the guard's name (minimum last name) displayed on the one breast in contrasting colors & in large enough lettering, while the other breast must have a patch, or, alternatively, a badge.

. Patches are to be rectangular in shape, and be 3 by 4 inches in size, & must be on both sleeves. Badges must be a minimum 2 ½ inches by 3 inches in size, while headgear badges must be minimum 2 ½ inches by 2 ½ inches in size. Badges are to be non-metallic. Patches & badges, at a minimum, must read "Private Security Guard", & patches must contain the name of the private security company. Badges and patches may not contain a prominent star or a seal of the federal or any state or local government.

. The outermost top garment must read "SECURITY" on the back, with the letters being a minimum of 3 inches high. Button-down shirts are exempt from this.

. Masks are not authorized to wear, with the exemption of a PSG being deployed in a "sufficiently hazardous working environment", such as wearing a medical mask while inside of a hospital full of sick people or wearing a respirator while in a hazardous material processing facility.

. Law enforcement officers employed as Private Security Guards are never authorized to wear their uniforms while acting as a Private Security Guard, including referencing themself as a member of law enforcement or having law enforcement powers, including showing law enforcement identification or a badge.

. The following words may never be used:

Officer 

Police 

Patrolman 

Agent 

Sheriff 

Deputy 

Marshall

Public Safety

Law Enforcement

Vehicle marking regulations are as follows:

. May not be predominately blue, brown, black, or green (except for lime green).

. Must be marked

. Never permitted to have rotating or strobe lights.

. Vehicles registered as private security vehicles are issued license plates that are pink with white lettering that read "Private Security Guard Car".

The best type of firearm that is authorized to possess while on duty is a single revolver in .38 special. 

.357 magnum revolvers, so long as they are not initially loaded with .357 magnum rounds, are tolerated.

Non-nfa non-repeating firearms, in general, may also be authorized to possess as an alternative to the .38 special revolver.

The types of ammunition that may be possessed is also restricted, with the following not authorized:

. Armor piercing, including Teflon-coated.

. Hollow points.

. Exploding.

. Reloads.

New Israel State Schools, Part 4: School Dress codes, Dressing for Success, & Ranks & Titles

New Israel State Schools, Part 3: Architecture & Working Conditions.


Uniforms:

Under the School System's "Dress For Sucess" policy, both students & staff are required to wear uniforms, which are State Government property.
The School System describes the dress-code as being "conservative" & "strict", but in reality, these are simply weasel words for "authoritarian".

The student's uniform, from the feet up, are;

Dress shoes, oxford style. 

Dress socks.

Dress slacks.

Dress belt.

Dress shirt.

Formal necktie.

Formal waistcoat.

Suit jacket.

Military-style side cap (similar to the Soviet "pilotka" cap).

An acrylic sweater may be worn alternatively to the waistcoat in the winter. It is required that all students in the entire state school system either wear the waistcoat or sweater at the same time on the same day to promote a collectivized appearance.

The clothing has a "classical" fit. The color is all mono-color "lifeless gray", a shade of dull gray. The fabric weight & material for the slacks is 18 oz wool-shoddy polyester, shirt is 10 oz polyester, & waistcoat & jacket is 16 oz wool shoddy & polyester. Alternatively, there are slacks, waistcoats, & jackets that are available that are made out of 14 oz of cheap polyester. Shoes, socks, & belts are black.

If a student has a medical condition that would make their body react in a negative way to wearing the regular school uniform, then their legal guardian(s) may fill special form requesting permission for that individual student to wear a uniform made out of alternate materials. 

Parents may also apply forums to authorize their child to have modifications made to their uniform to comply with their religious beliefs.

The uniform is to be worn to the state school system's specifications, ie, shirt tucked in, pants perfectly at the hips, tie perfectly tied at a full Windsor, no wrinkles, perfectly spotless, shoes are spit-shined, pant hem resting on top of the shoes, etc. All modifications are absolutely prohibited, with the sole exception being a specific order from the Superintendent to make a uniform modification. School spirit pins & pins supporting the State Government & schooling system, however, are authorized to be worn.

Failure to follow the full dresscode will result in the student being forced to wear a pocketless jumpsuit, with their school’s name & the words “DRESSCODE VIOLATOR” on the back, & pink if the individual is a male, or black & white stripes if the individual is a female.

Since the 1960's, for physical education, due to the intensity of the activities, students are authorized to wear school-issue "never again volunteer yourself" (navy) blue collared long sleeve 70%/30% polyester-cotton jumpsuits with "inmate sneakers". A student may also wear an approved school spirit t-shirt purchased from the store, & also have school spirit patches brought from the store on their jumpsuit. On particularly cold days, the School Superintendent may authorize the students to wear sweaters brought from the school store.

It was once proposed to have the jumpsuits colored "baby barf green" instead of "never again volunteer yourself blue", but this wasn't implemented, as the school board thought that the dull green could act as a camouflage color if a student escapes school.

For high school students, when they are doing "volunteer" work, since the 1950's, they are authorized to wear what are called "Volunteering Utility Uniform" in lieu of the standard uniform. This uniform, from the feet up, consists of:

. Utilitarian Black work boots.

. Socks that match the boots.

. Never again volunteer yourself blue work slacks.

. Web belt that matches slacks.

. Prisoner's blues style pockless long-sleeve work shirt.

. Lifeless gray wannabe-military style bib scarf.

. Never again volunteer yourself blue side cap.

For the VUU, the pants are made out of 16.5 oz polyester twill & the shirt is made out of 10 oz polyester twill. The back of the shirt says "STUDENT" & their number in big letters, with "Dept. of Education" in smaller letters below it, all in black letting. The front right breast has a white patch with the student's number on it in black. On the left sleeve, is the New Israel State Schools patch.

The rules that apply to the wearing of the VUU are the same as the regular uniform (the boots are also required to be spit-shined). However, is a particular job requires it, wearing a prisoner orange hard hat in lieu of the side cap & wearing personal protective equipment over the VUU is authorized. Also, if one is doing a particularly dirty job, they may remove the bib scarf, but must button up the top button of the shirt.

There were proposals to have the uniforms feature lifeless gray pant stripes & shirt shoulder straps/epaulets, but these modifications were judged as "too fancy", which could possibly hint at the students being higher class than their teachers (whose uniforms do not have those features).

It was also proposed to authorize students to wear their VUU's in place of their uniforms on normal school days like United States Marines wear their Combat Utility Uniforms when in garrison on a base & to also authorize the wear of PE jumpsuits while doing "volunteer" work like United States Navy Sailors are permitted to wear coveralls in lieu of their regular Working/Utility Uniforms while on a military installations & ships, but neither of these was implemented, as one school board member said that "They'll look unprofessional... bums, if I'm honest, which will also ruin our public image, & besides, that would be a lowering of standards".

School stores used to sell plain black large military-style rucksacks so students can carry some of their homework in them, but in the 1980's, ostensibly as a safety measure, these were replaced by clear plastic backpacks.

Teachers, Administrators, Vice-Principals & Principles wear a military-style dress uniform, which includes:

Jackboots.

Creased uniform pants.

Coat with U.S. Marine Corps style "standing collar" (officers have gold & purple trim, & have epaulets).

Dress belt.

Hats:

Teachers: campaign cover.

Administrators: wannabe-military style peaked cap.

Principal, Vice-principal & assistant principals: big "Russian dimensions" peaked cap (similar to post 1991 Russian peaked caps in dimensions).

Commissars, School Board Members, Vice-Superintendent, & the Superintendent-General: "Commissar Cap".

(The images above come from Marlow White's First Responder Uniform Configurator Beta, with the image taken & face blurred using Awesome Screenshot Minus on Google Chrome.)

The purpose of uniforms to establish that there are two classes of people, being controllers & subjects. The lifeless gray uniforms of students symbolize them being subjects, while the black military-style uniforms of the staff symbolize the authority of the staff.

Within the controllers, there are several subclasses, in this pecking order; 

. Lord Officers (Lord Superintendent General)

. Executive officer (Superintendent General).

. General officers (School Board Members).

. Special officers (Educational Commissars. Perhaps roughly equivalent to School manager or Assistant Superintendent in some school systems).

. Commanding officers (Principals).

. Lesser officers (Assistant Principals & Administrators).

. Non-commissioned officers (Tenured Teachers).

. Enlisted guards (Teachers).

. Prisoners (Students).

When it comes to Commissars, they are called "Special officers" for a reason. Commissars control the Armed Security Service's Fast Action Response Team's School Security Command (SchoolSecComm). If a Principal wants the Fast Action Response Team to show up to his school, he must contact a Commissar to do so. They even have their own pecking order, similar to the rank system of Commissars in Warhammer 40000, as follows:

Commissar-General. The highest rank among the Commissars. Reports directly to, & is in contact with, the Superintendent General.

Colonel-Commissar. Slotted between a regular commissar & Commissar-General. Responsible for regional operations.

Commissar-Captain. Responsible for a company of Fast Action Response Team members.

Commissar. The most common rank in the Commissariat. A typical Commissar would be assigned to watch over several schools & a platoon of Fast Action Response Team members.

Junior-Commissar. Subordinate to full Commissars, performing the role as a junior aide in the oversight of the unit assigned to a full Commissar. They primarily perform as adjutants & in an investigatory role as well as carrying out the usual Commissarial duties. It is common for one Junior-Commissar to be assigned to a school to watch over it & the Security Officers stationed at the school.

Cadet Commissar. They are Commissars in training.

New Israel State School uniformed personnel wear United States Military style rank insignia, being Enlisted Army for Teachers & Administrators (Teachers with no tenure wear no insignia, & when in training without full certification, are treated as unpaid interns, while tenured teachers wear NCO insignia), while officers being Administrators, Assistant Principals, Vice Principal & Principal wear Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps "Bars & Train Tracks" style insignia (Administrators may wear up to three, Assistant Principals wear four, the Vice-Principal wears five, & Principal wears six respectively).

Commissars, School Board Members, the Vice Superintendent & Superintendent wear regular U.S. military officer rank insignia. 

Cadet Commissars wear a gold bar, Junior-Commissars wear a silver bar, full Commissars wear two silver bars, Commissar-Captains wear a gold leaf, Colonel-Commissars wear a silver leaf, & the Commissar-General wears an Eagle.

School Board Members wear one star, the Vice-Superintendent wears two stars, & the Superintendent-General wears three stars.

Lord Superintendent-General is a four-star honorable rank, rewarded to "Major contributors to public education". The only people who have been given this rank so far are Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Horace Mann, & John Dewey, & John Dewey is the only one out of these who actually served within the New Israel State Schools system.

The use of different rank insignia & even header between school-level & state-level officers symbolises that the State has the authority over schooling of children, in that it is the State, NOT the locality or the people, that controls the schools, along with what & how things are taught in them, & even what could be done within school grounds.

In slang terms, Administrators, Teachers, & enlisted Security Guards are said to be part of the "scum class", while Assistant Principles & up, & Security Officers & up are said to be part of the "snob class", considering how the latter come from upper-income classes while the former are made up more middle to lower income classes.

Uniform complaints:

The uniforms have been criticized by both staff, & especially students, alike.

The students' biggest complaint with their uniforms is how uncomfortable, & more specifically, how hot & unbreathable they are. Obstensively, the reason for the heavy fabric (14 ounces for the jacket, waistcoat & pants. & 10 oz for the shirt) is to make the clothing durable & look less wrinkled. But, this heavy weight makes the suit hot to wear, which is combined with the traditional use of itchy wool shoddy, & since the 1950's, exacerbated by the use of low-grade polyester.

The build & material quality is low, as that there is no quality control, leading to suits often having poor durability, & it is common for seams to break.

It is common for students to complain en mass about uniforms that are of such low quality, & there are rumors that the uniforms were deliberately made uncomfortable to make the students used to being miserable. This all comes before rather mooted prices for uniform sets. For example, a new uniform set for kindergarten student may cost around $300 as of 2010.

Staff members also share this sentiment, albeit to a lesser degree. While school staff members are given more choices in terms of materials & material weights, they also have to deal with seemingly unfair pricing. For example, a standard-issue polyester-wool dress coat alone would easily set the buyer back $350 as of 2010.

There was also a safety complaint. Because the Government of the State of New Israel never replaces vehicles unless it costs more to maintain a vehicle in running order than to purchase a new one or they're forced to do so, many school buses are from the early 1980's, often in ramshackle condition, & all fueled with gasoline, which has the risk of exploding if the bus wrecks.

As a result of these complaints, ironically, both students & the staff members responsible for imprisoning, conditioning, & indoctrinating them both have uniform issues in common. This is to the point where members from both sides would privately buy their own clothing items & attach markings & accessories to the new clothing items to make it look like a uniform if they had the money to do so, considering how privately brought clothing items are usually more comfortable & of higher-quality than official government-supplied items. The New Israel state government officially has a rule against this, & regularly pressures businesses to block suspected sales of unofficial uniforms (officially as a safety measure, but in reality, to keep profits from sales), but the practice still is somewhat common.

Before 1910, uniforms were made out of heavy, itchy, wool shoddy. After 1910, uniforms were made out of a wool shoddy & viscose blend. Starting in the 1950's, the uniforms were made out of low-grade polyester & the same material was used ever since.

The uniforms & their accessories were, before January 3rd, 1963, made by prisoners in the prison-industrial complex. But, since January 3rd, 1963, the uniforms & accessories were 100% made in Israel. Eventually, after relations between Israel & Saudi Arabia improved enough, all of the oil required for the manufacture of the polyester came from Saudi Arabia.

The reason for outsourcing to Israel was officially because Israeli employees would make a higher quality product than American prisoners, but in actuality, it is a thinly veiled way to funnel money to Israeli companies.

New Israel State Schools & Prisons trivia.

Private Prisons in New Israel

In the State of New Israel, private prisons have started after the American Civil War mainly to incarcerate people to resist the State Government's power (many of whom are Native Americans or rebels) & other people who failed to perfectly obey the rules of the nanny police state, & as a thinly veiled, yet legal, way to funnel money to wealthy oligarchical corporatists. Generally, both juvenile prisons & regular prisons are owned & ran by private prison companies with contracts to the state in which that they must be at at least 100% capacity at all times.
But In the 20th century, there were less rebels to incarcerate thanks to the government schooling system. So instead, more nanny state laws were passed & enforced more strictly (such as recreational drug & alcohol prohibition) to keep the capacity at 100% or higher.

With the state's school-to-prison pipeline, the relationship between New Israel's prison system & government schools is actually as close as the relationship between the United States Navy & Marine Corps.

If one is arrested, if they’re both under 16 years old & not charged as an adult, they go to a juvenile prison, which is an extra-strict boarding school with more security.
If they’re 16 years old or older, OR under 16 but charged as an adult (& there is no minimum age at which one can be charged as an adult), they go straight to adult prison.

In regular prisons, prisoners are also used to do hard labor.

When one goes in, all of their clothing & personal belongings are taken away. The only clothing that they may wear are their bright red or orange jumpsuits & disposable sandals, & the only items that they may possess for themselves are cheap hygiene-related items & specifically approved religious items.

Most prisoners live in a "tent city", which is the same as Sheriff Joe Arpaio's tent city for the Maricopa County jail, BUT instead of using double bunk beds, bare metal triple bunk beds & stackable bunk beds are used, both 27 inches wide & 72 inches long at the largest, are used.

In cases where "tent city" does not provide enough restraint &/or security, prisoners are crammed into a dormitory that easily holds hundreds of other prisoners. If they're lucky, they'll get to sleep on a bunk bed that is designed to hold at least three individuals at a time, with no mattress or sheets. Again, the bunks are installed not for the benefit of the prisoners, but in an attempt to increase capacity for the dormitory.

Prisoners who are considered too troublesome to be housed with the general population would be housed in smaller cells, or even isolated. It is common for either small groups of prisoners or individual prisoners to be locked into a 35 square windowless cell. In the cell, there is NOTHING but a combination sink-toilet & a triple bunk bed (not that every cell will have multiple prisoners in it, depending on the situation) with no mats or even sheets on it.

It would look something like this, except that it would have a triple bunk bed & being poured concrete gray.

(The above picture came from Here's How Many Solitary Prison Cells Fit In Your Apartment.)

At the beginning of the prisoner's average day, they are woken up, & are given one cheap meal. After the several minute eating opportunity ends, they are sent to work. They do backbreaking work for 16 hours a day with virtually no pay, in often harsh conditions, in their jumpsuit & sandals. When the workday ends, they go back to their dormitory or cell, eat again, sleep, & rinse & repeat.

Prisoners are fed nutraloaf, or if the Federal Government doesn't allow the practice under the rules of cruel & unusual punishment, meat from factory-farms & plain bread, with a side of milk sourced from big dairy companies.

During a prisoner's institutionalization, the only time off that they have from this are working on their legal case, doing specifically approved religious activities, & that it about it.

Trivia:

. The uniform comfort issues was an indirect reference to some of the problems that the United States Air Force's Airman Battle Uniform has, such as a heavy 13 oz fabric weight. The Physical Education uniform being better compared to the standard dress uniform but is only allowed to be worn under limited conditions is almost like how the Airman Battle System-Ground being more comfortable & practical than the standard-issue Airman Battle Uniform, but the wearing of which is also restricted to limited circumstances.

. Both viscose & polyester are sometimes said to be bad materials not only for comfort but also potential health effects; The 6+ Synthetic Fabrics You Most Want to Avoid, and Why

. If you're wondering where I came up with the numbers for Student's uniform fabric weights, I used real-world clothing as realism references. References for the shirt can be found here, the regular pants here, VUU pants here, & uniform waistcoat & jacket here.

. The credits system was inspired by the credits system adopted by manufactorums in Warhammer 40000. If you're not familiar with what I mean, imagine that your workplace pays you in its own currency. Your workplace/employing entity offers you stores & markets to shop in, & the currency that you're given only has value in aforementioned stores & markets, being useless elsewhere.

New Israel State Schools, Part 3: Architecture & Working Conditions

New Israel State Schools, Part 2.5: How Conditioning, Brainwashing, & Indoctrination works.


On the outside, concrete walls that are at least 26 feet high, topped with barbed tape, with double-coil razor wire wrapped around the barbed tape, & big barbs on the wire.

Past the wall, one can see almost nothing but dull, cold, hard, concrete all around them. The school building itself will be of brutalist style architecture with influence from totalitarian architecture; cold, hard, & lifeless gray concrete, with no windows. Even doors are generally made out of cold, hard steel & lack windows. 

School grounds are fenced in with heavy duty chain-link fences & topped with razor wire, which generally will be electrified. Schools are built to be very spartan, generally built with cheap, poured concrete with no windows.

Classrooms are bare with little more than simple plain gray desk (with no storage space) & backless stool combinations for the students, & a raised podium & maybe some matching gray storage cabinets for the teacher.

Student restrooms have stainless-steel toilet-sink combinations (the same as those used in prisons) with no stalls.

Whenever students eat lunch, they must eat in the classroom & are given a maximum of 15 minutes to eat. School lunches are literally the same as prison lunches brought from the prison-industrial complex, which sources the food from big bank-owned farms & the meat from corporate factory-farms. There is no recess, break time or other sorts of free time, which is intended to condition the students into the idea that their time is not their own, & that the state may intrude on it at will.

What may be possessed on school grounds:

Anything that a student possesses on school grounds is considered contraband unless it is specifically brought from their school's commissary, with exceptions narrower than a razor blade. Any student caught breaking this rule would have said contraband confiscated, & the student punished.

Credits system:

For students to buy things in school, they must buy credits, with real money. Credits have roughly the same value as U.S. Dollars, but they have more restrictions. If a student fails to be perfectly obedient, they can have credits taken away as punishment. Also, if a student's grades get too low, they can also have credits taken away as punishment.

Food:

Students:

Literal prison food.

They used to be sold bug-infested "pirate hardtack" (the proper name would be sea biscuit) to eat, but this was changed in the early 20th century to more standard prison food.

High school students doing volunteer work are sold military rations while taking authorized food breaks (for breakfast & dinner). Since the late 20th century, military rations from Israel, Saudi Arabia, & China are available, common in that order.

Enlisted (Teachers, administrators): 

Food used to vary from school to school, but always a bit overpriced. Since the late 20th century, they were sold military rations from Israel, Saudi Arabia, & China are available, common in that order.

Officers & Warrant Officers (Assistant Principals & up, Armed Security Service Warrant Officers & Officers):

They get their own luxurious dining hall & lounge only accessible to them & specifically authorized individuals.

The food is often like what is found in the "Officer's Ration Pack" as depicted in this video (minus the alcohol).
