The police, but also the Swiss Armed Forces, the Border Guard and various other institutions are entrusted with averting danger. In more recent times, private security service companies have gained in importance. This has been done on behalf of the community as well as private individuals. For cost reasons, among other things, they took over tasks that were previously performed by the municipal and cantonal police forces. In addition, the security needs of many citizens seem to be changing. The commissioning of private security service providers is intended to counter this insecurity and improve the subjective well-being of security. However, certain legal questions have to be clarified, when such a contract is awarded. For example, questions arise as to which legal requirements must be fulfilled in order for them to be entrusted with tasks at all, which authorities private security service providers have and in which places and areas they are allowed to operate. Finally, the question of control by the community and liability must also be clarified. The purpose of this paper is to try to answer these questions with regard to the forms and possibilities of outsourcing security police tasks and to show how, to what extent and under what conditions outsourcing to private security service companies can be considered. The present study focuses on the outsourcing of sovereign state tasks to third parties. The communities at all levels (Confederation, cantons, municipalities) must clarify to what extent state tasks can be outsourced to private security service companies and where this is fundamentally not permissible due to the monopoly on violence and police sovereignty. Tasks which cannot be outsourced are those which are connected with sovereign police action and which are enforced against the persons concerned by means of direct coercion if necessary. Tasks which can be outsourced to a limited extent are those which are merely auxiliary functions, but in which the private security service does not have to exercise any discretion. On the other hand, tasks of a purely preventive nature, such as advising citizens on preventive matters, can be outsourced.dePolizeirecht; Verwaltungsrecht; Gewaltmonopol; Bewachungsgewerbe; EDIS-5093; Verhältnismässigkeitsprinzip; Private security; Legalitätsprinzip; Police; Direct enforcement; Verkehrspolizei; Aufgabenübertragung; Auslagerung; Unmittelbarer Zwang; GrenzwachtkorpsTransportpolizei; Violence; Öffentliche Ordnung; Privater Sicherheitsdienst; Polizeibegriff; Störerprinzip; Security service companies; Public safety; Polizeiaufgaben; Aufgabenprivatisierung; Liability; Sicherheitspolizei; Rechtsschutz; Outsourcingdoctoral thesis
