1. The Authority only keeps statistics on registered security service providers. We currently do not have data on the total number of unregistered officers or businesses. We can however provide information on the number of unregistered security providers that have been criminally charged.
2. a) Collaboration with SALGA is underway to gather comprehensive information on the registration of security officers and businesses employed by municipalities.
b) (i) & (ii) This data is currently unavailable but will form part of the collaborative effort to collect relevant information.
Additional Note:We are conducting awareness campaigns aimed at municipalities to promote compliance with PSiRA regulations. Municipalities that utilize private security companies for the entire security functions are not required to register as In-house security providers. Currently, 41 municipalities out of 257 are registered as in-house security providers. Inspections are regularly conducted to ensure compliance, and action is taken against any violations.
