How important is Training for Security Personnel

  • Jun 27, 2008
  • Post a comment

Security is among fundamental requirements for every human being. Personal, financial and assets security is always among first priority of everyone in society. There are Government Security Agencies in place to ensure all types of security to the society. However, along with increased population ratio between “number of employees in police services and other secondary government security services” and common public has decreased. Now, the police alone are not enough to provide round the clock security to society and their belongings. It is one of the major problem concerns for people.

To solve the problem of security, Private Security Agencies came into existence. They are recruiting people from society to serve the security needs of individual, organization of society. The basic criteria for selection of candidates as security personnel are Physical Fitness, Prompt Mind, and ability to take quick actions in diverse conditions.

However, these basic selection criteria are not enough for new recruits. They need proper security training just like the training of Police or Army involving all arms and ammunition training, IQ test, and Physical ability test. This is very important in order to ensure their usability for expected services by them. All security services provider agencies try to provide best training facilities to their security guards and security officers in order to make them capable of dealing any kind of adverse situation.

These days, security agencies prefer recruiting retired army personnel as security guards, and veteran Army officers as their commanding officers. It is cost effective as well as more productive, at the same time its mutual benefit for Army veterans as well as security agencies. Army veterans get a chance of earning again with pride by this new phenomenon of employment, whereas security companies get resources exactly perfect for their kind of job. Security agencies do not have to arrange any training sessions for retired army personnel. Because they are already trained to deal with all kinds of security threats both internal and external.

The training for security personnel is mandatory because, no one knows what kind of threat they have to face while on duty. It may be a normal case of theft, or may be big robbery or criminal attacks. In case of celebrity security, security agencies have to employ specially trained rough and tough commandos capable of dealing high priority threats.

Regulation of Private Military and Security Companies

  • May 7, 2008
  • Post a comment

Private Military Companies and Private Security Companies cover wide area of operation in today’s world. They are providing services to almost every segment of society, including people, organizations, government offices, and monuments. Their presence at every step generated the need for regulations. In order to regulate Private Military Companies and Private Security Companies, government should:

  1. Establish a licensing system with clear standards and contracting process for Private Military Companies and Private Security Companies, and the individuals working for them.
  2. Define prohibited activities and clearly regulate all permitted activities.
  3. Define basic minimum requirements for transparency and accountability of the firms and in terms of preparation, training, and behavior of the firms and their employees.
  4. Establish rules and systems for the screening and vetting of the companies and their personnel.
  5. Establish a monitoring system for Private Military Companies and Private Security Companies activities.
  6. Establish parliamentary oversight.
  7. Establish rules that make contracting competitive, fair and transparent to the public.
  8. Secure the financing of all measures required for regulation.

As Private Military Companies and Private Security Companies constitute a transactional industry, there is a need for international involvement too. Because the status of this industry under international law is, at best, ambiguous, clarification of, and amendment it, international law in relation to PMC’s and PSC’s is required. Proposals exists, ranging from and updating of the 1989 UN Assembly International Convention against the requirement, Use, Financing and Training of mercenaries, creating an UN body that regulates and sanctions the private military and security companies, establishing an international register which compiles declarations by both importers and exporters of services provided by these firms.

Laws must be developed that provide control for the variety of legal and jurisdictional dilemmas that the industry has raised. A key requisite is to extend legal clarity to the questions of who can work for these firms, who the firms can work for, which legal codes will govern and what bodies will investigates, prosecute, and punish any wrongdoing and in what domains. In and ideal arrangement, states will co-ordinate their efforts and involve regional organizations to maximize coverage in order to ease the path to international standards.

Private Security Company

  • Apr 29, 2008
  • Post a comment

A Private Security Company (PSC) is a registered civilian company that specializes in providing contract commercial services to domestic and foreign entities with the intent to protect personnel and humanitarian and industrial assets within the rule of applicable domestic law.

The PSC market has been in existence for a lot longer is far larger and generally much more competitive than that for military services. PSC’s are profit driven organizations that trade in professional services linked to internal security and protection. The majority of PSC’s are smaller companies predominantly concerned with crime prevention and ensuring public order, providing security and private guard services domestically. In a number of states as diverse as the US, the UK, Israel, Germany, Russia, South Africa and the Philippines. The number of domestic PSC’s and size of their budgets exceed those of public law enforcement agencies. A minority of PSC’s are organized in larger companies sharing the same corporate attributes and command structures as Private Military Companies.

Classification of Private Security Companies

Private Security Companies operating domestically can be categorized into the following broad sections:

1. The guarding sector: By far the largest and most visible component of Private Security Companies. Regions with the highest levels of crime and private enterprise have the largest number of PSC’s. But the activities range from urban to rural security. Guarding sector employees patrol airports, office buildings, apartment complexes, shopping malls, sports arenas, warehouses, railway and bus stations, cargo terminals and parking lots etc.

2. The Electronic security, sensor and surveillance sector: It includes installers of alarms, access controls, protection and quick reaction devices, often with reaction services attached, as well as sweeping and intrusion detection services. Contractors do the guarding mostly remotely via the monitoring of the sensors and surveillance equipment.

3. The Investigation & Risk Management Sector: This is the smallest and comprises private investigators whose activities range from the dangerous to the mundane, from the tragic to hilarious: from matrimonial disputes, labor matters, vetting, expert witness services, private and industrial espionage, counterintelligence and anti- and counter-surveillance, to VIP protection from undercover and surveillance missions. Risk management consulting is the least visible of all sectors and possibly the most problematic and potentially threatening to the state.

Private Security Industry in United States

  • Apr 25, 2008
  • Post a comment

The Private Security Industry is one of the fastest growing Industry in U.S., public panic over crime after September 11 incident and rise of several criminals and militants groups in all over the world helped this industry in booming more in less time period. Currently Private Security Industry is spending more money and recruiting more security guards than public police forces around the country.

According to the estimates and financial studies, total expense on private security was around $52 billion, compared to $30 billion expense on public police forces in the year 1990. There were more than 10,000 private security companies engaged in Private Security Services, and they employed around 1.5 million guards, which is nearly three times of 554,000 state and local police officers. This industry which collects billions as profits is growing rapidly. There was an estimation that the number of private security guards providing their services will reach to 2 million by the year 2000.

Private Security guards employed by Private Security Agencies can be seen everywhere, patrolling shopping malls, workplaces, apartment buildings and neighborhoods. The rapid growth of massive private shopping malls, and steady shrinkage of public shopping streets along with the change in shopping trends of people are also a helping factor in booming and flourishing these private security agencies. Even Government is taking services of Private Security Agencies to ensure security on highly congested public places such as New York City’s Grand Central Station. Many municipalities are planning to cut their operating costs further by hiring private security people to work with ambulance services, parking enforcement, as well as to watch over crime scenes and transport prisoners.

Urbanization, modernization and capitalization in United States also encourages the need of solid security Systems. Government policing system was not enough to serve this huge demand of security staff and armed personnel’s, so that led to more and more increase in number of security guards recruitment and helped Security Agencies in earning more revenues. The case was not only applicable to large government installations or private organization and places of social gatherings. The security agencies used to get several requests and queries regarding protection of private property and persons. Several wealthy people started taking services of private security agencies and guards employed by them in security of their permanent properties, as well as for protection of their own life.

In brief, it was beginning of another era in history of Homeland Security in United States. The trend of having private security guards is becoming more and more popular, which will ensure better employment services and earning opportunities for Army veterans, providing a chance to earn them for their own bread and butter.

Private Security Agencies

Earlier Security Setup

Security is always one of major needs for people. During ancient time there were several small states, mostly independent or sometimes under an empire. They had army to protect their citizens from external hazards as well as external invaders. The need for internal security was less important as today due to very less or negligible crime rate.

Current Crime Scenario – Need for Private Security Agency

Currently crime rate has increased dramatically. Every day, several new instances of crime, theft or terrorism are visible to public. We can see the rate increasing even rapidly than ever. People do not feel themselves secure due to this increasing crime rate. Police and Army is there to protect them from internal as well as external risks, but police personnel is either not enough to control current internal crime rate or not as much interested as they should be. Therefore, people needed some sort of private security personnel. The need gave birth to the idea of private security agencies. These agencies provide security at various levels as well as of various kinds.

Services Provided By Security Agency

Private Security agencies provide security of all kind. They provides personal security in form of private bodyguards, corporate security in terms of providing complete security to a corporation or large firm by employing private security guards to their several business installations. These security agencies also provide events specific security for special or occasional private events like marriages or other social gatherings.

In fact, private security agencies work parallel to government security personnel with their help and support whenever needed. They work in collaboration with Government Security Agency to control law and order too at some occasions.

Security personnel at these private agencies are trained specially for their specific works. They get proper industry training before being employed at their actual place of work. These security guards ensure security of their employers or their assets.
