THE Ministry of Home Affairs has advised security firms to engage it in the screening of security guards during recruitment exercises to prevent high crime rate involving security guards.

This follows the arrest of a 24-year-old guard from Group 4 Security firm in Lusaka arrested last month in connection with theft of more than K120, 000 and US $200 at the Road Development Agency (RDA) offices.

Earlier this year, three security guards of Group 4 Security were arrested in connection with the theft of an undisclosed amount of money.

Home Affairs spokesperson Moses Siwali said involving the Ministry of Home Affairs in the screening process during recruitment would help detect criminals before they are employed.

Mr Siwali explained that the situation where some security firms where employing people without prior knowledge of their history was dangerous, more so in security firms.

The G4 security guard who was arrested in connection with the RDA theft had gone into hiding and was only arrested in Western Province.

A total of K7,000 had been recovered from the security Guard at the time of the arrested.

Mr Siwali further explained that the Ministry of Home Affairs if engaged could also help security firms in training their security guards.

"Our mandate is to maintain law and order in the country and so if they need to engage us in their recruitment exercise we shall provide the services," he said.

He stated that engaging the Ministry of Home Affairs in the recruitment exercise would also help instill confidence in security firms.

Zambia: 'Involve Us in Screening of Security Guards'

Wow folks, thanks for your overwhelming response to Contractors Corner; we still have readers in our society and that is great. It was on one of visits to a client when the topic of home security came up; she asked home can we make our homes more safe, and the discussion went on and on.

I eventually recognised that there was so much we could do to make our homes and families a bit safer, and it did not require forking out a million dollars. I however, do recommend some anti-theft device, but I think the following ideas would help make any security system even more effective. After all you spent so much building it, the least you could do is protect it!!

So some of the ideas were as follows:

There are several security companies on the island; consider having a discussion with a security professional to see how your own space could be just a little safer. Thanks again for touching by contractors corner.
