Monday’s nationwide exercise to clampdown on the private security companies without the approved uniforms, followed the expiration of a year grace period given to them by the Ghana Police.

The approved uniforms for private security personnel

The Police explained the proliferation of unapproved uniforms was becoming a great concern for the service.

  • No police training; no employment in private security firm

As part of measures to streamline the activities of private security firms in the country, the Inspector General of Police in 2017 launched three prescribed set of uniforms for the private security organizations.

On October 16 this year, such companies were given up to October 25 to comply by providing their personnel with the required uniforms.

  • Private security firms given Oct. 25 deadline to wear prescribed uniforms

But most companies have failed to comply, a situation that triggered the clampdown exercise.
