Importantly, based as they would be in localities and colonies, they can serve as useful `detectives’ for our intelligence agencies. Former director general of Tihar Prison, R.P.Singh, told TSI, “Private guards are manning all parts of cities. They have sensitive and important information. However, due to lack of coordination with the police, they are not utilised. Government can even think of taking their service for intelligence gathering. This will help to break terrorists’ network.” Unarguably, private security cannot become an alternative to official agencies, like the regular police or army or paramilitary forces, but can become a handy placebo. Sophisticated, armed and efficient, on duty at prime hotels, airports, industrial hubs, with quick response times that does not need bureaucratic clearances is pretty much the need of the hour.
Security companies are, naturally, worked up. A number of them – Topsline and G4Securities for instance – amongst dozens of others have mushroomed in the last few years. Now with the bill, they will get official teeth.
Says Vikas Verma, MD, Property Guards Security Services, one of the seven wings of G-7 Securitas Group, which guards top film stars like Preity Zinta and Aishwariya Rai Bachchan: ``Because of our superior technological and human resources, state police forces seek our help.” He claims the agency has even solved cases of abduction and murder.
In addition, there is upgraded technology. “In Madhya Pradesh, Naxalites would hide grenades under corpses. When the police closed in for scrutiny, the mines would explode in their faces. The police wanted to buy very expensive robots, but we suggested they use an inexpensive anchor to do the same job as efficiently. And it has worked.’’
The mushrooming of such private security agencies, has led to other complications, like below par services. Cities are teeming with thousands of men who are hardly trained, under paid, weak of physique, ill-mannered and whose claim to provide security in a rarely washed and stained uniform, could at best be considered laughable. To be sure, some inspiration is coming from the West. In US and Canada, even places as sensitive as airports are managed by private security agencies and the story of the role played – even overplayed – by the US private agency Blackwater is legend.
Most agree that it would take many years and a lot of investment to reach US levels – if at all. In the US, for example, private agencies use satellite imagery and process data which is supplied to the government. Though there have been examples of lapses on their parts, which has led to innocent civilians being bombed in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet, they are able to identify and advice the government on precise locations of terrorism hotspots and exact targets at many occasions.
Already, with top corporates and others seeking protection, the state of high-end security has improved. Ramesh Aiyar, Executive Director of the Topsline Group, claims they have the latest equipment and trained personnel to deal with any situation. “We have the latest gadgets like vapour explosives detection, which makes it possible for us to detect not just explosives but also other chemicals.’’ He claims his company is competent to deal with air rescue and combating biological warfare. For operators like him, the Act could not have come at a more opportune time.
