Today, it is said that profiling is illegal and unconstitutiona l. So, it would be better to say evidence gathering or observation. If you profile the result will be, a particular race or group will be isolated and found to be suspicious, and then what happens, illegal search and seizure, and people's constitutional rights are taken.

So, the proper word is observation, not profiling.

SECURITY GUARDS 12. (1) A person who—(f) successfully completes the programme of training approved by the Commissioner www.laws.gov.ag/acts/2006/a2006-11.pdf pg8

rupert j, the THE PRIVATE SECURITY REGISTRATION ACT 2006 has a requirement that security guards must be trained. The training program must be approved by the Chief of police. If this is being done, as the law states it should, why would we need to engage in the above actions?

All I can do is SMH the police themselves need more training so how can they train Private security guards is this the blind leading the blind????!!!!! well sah what is becoming in this country, and by the way private security firms don't train their security guards????????

Concerned Resident, well said. The act (THE PRIVATE SECURITY REGISTRATION ACT 2006) with the regulation you mentioned was passed in 2006. This action is a further reminder that too many in authority have business interest in these security firms. I have to wonder which body will train them how to do proper patrols since this also is a skill which seems lacking in our local police force.

While I laud the police and defence forces for training the security guards that are deployed at our secondary schools, this is at the public's expense. All security guards were supposed to be trained to standards by July 2012. If these guards had received training, they wouldn't need the police and defence forces to intervene now. Should the police/defence forces be required to train all the security guards of which there are thousands engaged in Antigua/Barbuda ? I think not. The private security companies are responsible for training their employees not the police/defence forces.

Good Move but they should be provided with hand held "wands" -metal detectors.

**serious** » 2012-08-18 06:50

I know we need security in our schools,but are we going to be pointing guns on kids we they are doing a search?think about it

**hmmmmmmmmm** » 2012-08-18 06:11

Police training security guards? This has to be a joke? Everytime you read the paper a police officer is involved in a crime or being accused of brutality and they are serious about training SCHOOL security guards? Heaven help us.
Mr. Commissioner please use the resourses to start cleaning up the rank and file because the citizens and children need protection from your officers.
