Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack is funding private security patrols in Bedford to tackle rising local crime. His initiative aims to boost public safety amid concerns over police response and is part of his broader community efforts involving his football club, Real Bedford.
Peter McCormack, a well-known Bitcoin podcaster and owner of Real Bedford FC, has launched a private security initiative in Bedford, UK. Frustrated by rising crime and slow police response, McCormack is personally funding 10 security guards to patrol Bedford’s town center every Saturday throughout August 2025. The move aims to improve public safety amid reports of shoplifting, harassment, and aggressive begging.
While some praise his proactive approach, others raise concerns about vigilantism and the legal limits of private security in the UK. McCormack’s broader goal includes boosting his football club, Real Bedford, with backing from crypto billionaires, as he hopes to take the team all the way to the Premier League.
