That's why I mentioned G4S.

They run prisons, young offenders institutions and offer private security etc.

They are not known for good behaviour though.

They are known for cost-cutting, hiring people with questionable qualifications and experience, sexual assaults on minors and covering up evidence of their own incompetence and malice.

That's what I think of when people suggest privatising law enforcement and military. Greed, malice and power-mongering.

A genuine dystopia, because I don't have the same faith that you do that a profit motive will be anything other than destructive in these spheres.
