Private security firms believe businesspersons are partly to blame for the robberies and related crime perpetrated against them by being careless and taking unnecessary risks.
This view, though not a new one, was reiterated yesterday by professionals in the private security sector during a security seminar at the Pegasus Hotel organised by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), which also heard that there has been a monumental rise in “inside jobs.”
Randy Storm, President of the Guyana Association of Private Security Organisations (GAPSO), suggested that business owners are the ones who must take the necessary measures to ensure their protection.
