From the Barbados Nation News:
AS SOME BARBADIANS prepare to stage their Old Year’s night fetes, they are being reminded that the security guards they employ should be licensed.
Find out how YOU can become a Certified Protection Officer with the IFPO!
This reminder has come from Security Officer in the Ministry of Defence and Security, Earl Deane, who said no security guard, private investigator or security agency should provide such services unless they were licensed under the Private Investigators and Security Guards Act.
Deane continued: “A person who contravenes the Act is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment to a fine of $5,000, or imprisonment for two years, or both. Therefore, my message to those holding fetes this yuletide season and engaging the services of security guards, as well as agencies and entities employing guards, is to check and make sure they are licensed.”
