Privately owned police departments and privately funded police officers already exist in the US. University Police, private police forces at nuclear plants and chemical plants, heck I know of at least one megachurch that has a SWAT team.
The US Marshalls service has a "special deputy" program where bodyguards of the rich and famous become federal law enforcement with little to no oversight. This allows them to carry firearms nationwide regardless of state or local laws.
