PRIVATE SECURITY IN SOUTH AFRICA

Several news articles published this past week interviewed managers of and security officers themselves and quoted the very reputable Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in saying that the SA Police Service is unable to address the safety and security needs of its citizens.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT & PROTECTION OF PERSONNEL: COVID-19 OUTBREAK
