Some companies spend a small fortune on security. But are you paying for the right things? Is the money you spend actually improving your security? Many security surveys and assessments actually result in customers spending less money on security while improving their security posture.

(CNN) A Miami police union announced Thursday that it was urging a nationwide boycott by law enforcement labor organizations of Beyoncé’s forthcoming world tour, which is slated to begin in the city April 27 at Marlins Park.
In a statement, Javier Ortiz, president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, accused the singer of using her recent Super Bowl performance “to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message.”
The video for Beyoncé’s new song “Formation” includes images referencing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and shows a young African-American boy in a hoodie dancing in front of police officers in riot gear. During her halftime set at the Super Bowl, backup dancers were dressed in outfits reminiscent of the 1960s-era Black Panthers.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was a vocal critic, saying on Fox News the next day he found the performance “outrageous.”
On Thursday, Ortiz wrote that he “was one of the tens of thousands of law enforcement officers that didn’t watch the Super Bowl halftime show out of respect for our profession,” but that “on another day while flipping through the television channels, I did mistakenly watch her ‘Formation’ video.'”
A representative for Beyoncé was not immediately available to comment. But a spokesman for the City of Miami Police Department told the Huffington Post that the union spoke only for itself and that “there’s no indication that anything that is said there will translate into police officers not working the job.”
The office of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado did not respond to an email request for comment.

Last December, the University of Houston terminated its contract with Contemporary Services Corporation after the company’s security guards assaulted Cougars fans attempting to celebrate their team’s AAC championship. UH athletic director Hunter Yurachek stated he was “disappointed and angered” by the incident, videos of which illustrate CSC employees shoving, tackling, and punching jubilant students while other CSC personnel stand aside, allowing the fans to rush the field in celebration.
It was a revealing look at how the physical territory of sports is protected, and at how many things can go wrong with the contractors and low-paid, trained-in-a-day security guards hired to do the job. Employees of CSC, which markets itself as the “world leader” in stadium security, will work many of the biggest upcoming events on the sports calendar, including the NBA playoffs and the Final Four—though, notably, not the Super Bowl. (In 2006 the NFL ended its deal with CSC to provide Super Bowl security, citing cost as a factor.)
Every major sports league in the U.S. has employed CSC. The company has worked 10 Olympics, four presidential inaugurations, and three papal visits. Their yellow jackets are ubiquitous and instantly recognizable at most large public events.
But with that ubiquity comes a number of complaints. Since 1991, CSC has been sued in federal court at least 21 times on claims ranging from personal injuries, civil rights violations, and assault and battery. While it’s impossible to draw a direct comparison, their closest competitors, Elite Services, has been sued five times in a similar timeframe.
Most of these lawsuits resulted in out-of-court settlements between CSC and the plaintiffs. Taken together, they provide a glimpse of just how fine the line is between keeping order and abusing power, and how, to sports promoters, fan safety is just another cost center to be weighed against profits.
