4.1 Entrepreneurship and Property
4.1.5 The State Property Protection Service
The creation of a state service to protect
property
(principally private property) is an attempt to reverse
the
trend toward rapid criminalisation of the entire economy
by
concentrating a maximum number of functions for the protection
of the interests of entrepreneurs within the jurisdiction
of a
state agency possessing the appropriate powers, trained
staff,
weapons, and other necessary means.

At the first stage, the internal affairs
and security agencies
(internal affairs and security ministry departments in the
oblast) are given the right to sign contracts with associations
of entrepreneurs. The content of these agreements includes
recommendations by the entrepreneurs' associations for the
planning and implementation of the usual functions of the
given
agencies. Examples: partial amendment of the surveillance
plan,
or of the personnel's time and place of duty, the concentration
of forces and means on standard operations (verification
of
passports, business regulations, etc.). The second step
involves the creation of special subdivisions within the
internal affairs department and the security ministry and
the
granting to them of the right to sign contracts for the
execution of special functions, not only with associations,
but
also with separate enterprises and individuals:
- the safeguarding of workplaces, production
sites, and other
premises, material valuables, money, and private individuals;
- the protection of commercial, financial,
credit, production,
and technological confidentiality;
- the rendering of legal services; and
- the elaboration and introduction of technical
security
programmes.
The third stage involves the establishment
(on the basis of
special subdivisions) of 100% state-owned joint stock
companies, and their provision of services permitted for
private agencies. To contribute workplaces, vehicles, weapons
and other means, and other property at the disposal of the
special subdivisions of the internal affairs and security
agencies, as statutory capital. Such joint stock companies
will
implement the following functions: - effective servicing
of
entrepreneurial structures, combatting criminal infringement,
and resistance against racketeering and mafia gangs; and
- the coordination of the activity of private security,
criminal
investigation, and other law enforcement agencies.
