“The operatives will intensify monitoring and supervision of all beats manned by private guards companies to ensure that they are doing the right thing.

“A company registration and issuance of a license to operate as a security guard are two different things.

“You are just following the process, you must register your company and also obtain a license for operating private security guards.

“Therefore, the private guards’ companies were sealed for illegal operation or failure to renew occupational license.”
