Judges at two [[Treasure Coast]] courthouses that had been guarded by Mateen requested that G4S be replaced by sheriff's deputies.  At $377,000 and $86,000 respectively, the G4S contracts for [[St. Lucie County, Florida|St. Lucie]] and [[Indian River County, Florida|Indian River]] were cheaper by margins of $200,000 and $60,000 than the deputies.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.securityinfowatch.com/news/12225645/investigation-judges-on-floridas-treasure-coast-want-g4s-security-guards-removed-from-courthouses|title=Investigation: Judges on Florida's 'Treasure Coast' want G4S security guards removed from courthouses|author=George Andreassi|date=2016-06-27|publisher=McClatchy/Security Info Watch|access-date=2016-07-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160702154920/http://www.securityinfowatch.com/news/12225645/investigation-judges-on-floridas-treasure-coast-want-g4s-security-guards-removed-from-courthouses|archive-date=2016-07-02|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The [[PGA Village]] board voted unanimously to review a $1 million annual contract with G4S and consider other vendors after the sale of a resident's home was cancelled by a purchaser who learned that Mateen had patrolled the community.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tcpalm.com/news/special/orlando-shooting/exclusive-pga-village-reconsiders-contract-with-g4s-security-366d6618-6fb8-05f2-e053-0100007f88d5-384940751.html|title=Exclusive: PGA Village reconsiders contract with G4S Security|work=TCPalm|date=2016-06-29|author=Bridget Johnson}}</ref>

On June 22, Massachusetts Senator [[Kathleen O'Connor Ives]] called it "crazy and beyond ironic" in light of Mateen and other scandals to replace members of the [[Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority]] police union with G4S to guard the transit agency's money room.  The $400,000 contract with G4S was just more than half the cost of [[MBTA Transit Police]], who had been replaced June 6 after security lapses were reported by outside experts.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.salemnews.com/news/senator-alarmed-by-mbta-s-hiring-of-security-company/article_ee28252f-399f-5194-baef-71815e831acb.html|title=Senator alarmed by MBTA's hiring of security company|author=Matt Murphy|newspaper=Salem News}}</ref>
