There is little doubt that there is an ongoing war-on-police occurring and that this war has had negative consequences on the tourism industry. Tourism is already suffering from Covid-19 restrictions, difficulties in travel and media fear. Added to this is a new crime wave often due to lack of police officers, police reticence in becoming involved due to a lack of political support, fear of the media, and lack of security resources. It behooves tourism officials and tourism academics to consider that: all crises have a human element. Attacking an entire profession is also a manifestation of bigotry. How many people would advise a son, daughter, or loved one to consider policing as a profession? The demonization of police becomes a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. In such a case scenario, bright and creative people might become fearful of choosing law enforcement as a career. Tourism security needs men and women who want to participate in TOPPs units. The current man and woman power shortage means that there are less people willing to put their lives on the line to defend both visitors and the tourism industry. There is a high priority for risk management techniques to be looked at from every angle. All too often, tourism surety is seen as adding nothing to the bottom line and plays second fiddle to marketing.
This is a major mistake. Without tourism surety there is no bottom line!
