For years, important people like politicians, wealthy business owners, and public figures have been given special security from the government. But today, many citizens feel this system is unfair.
People who support removing escorts say that too many police officers are used to protect a few VIPs, while ordinary communities do not have enough security. They believe police officers should focus more on protecting the general public, not just powerful individuals.
But others argue that some VIPs truly face higher risks because of their positions or decisions they made while in office. They say removing escorts from these people could put them in danger.
Because of these arguments, some governments are reviewing their policies. They want to reduce the number of escorts, limit who qualifies for special protection, and send more officers back to regular community policing.
This debate shows that people want a fairer system—one where safety is balanced for everyone, not just a select few.
