security industry operating in complex environments, as
well as to improve oversight and accountability of the
companies.

ICoC was signed was 58 private security companies. ICoC is
having impacts in the better regulation of the security
industry. Marshal aims to join this initiative.
Uniforms used by many of the private security agencies resembles that
of the Government security forces despite instructions given by the
government.

Some cases see terrorist activities due to the use of similar uniform.
Law and order is also threatened.

Thousands of less educated unemployed are being employed, making
customers information and security vulnerable

Salary of a guard at an embassy and that at a shopping mall has a wide
variation.

Less availability of number of quality security guards and lack of
government support.

Lack of adaptation and quality in understanding in security personnel
makes it more expensive and time consuming to train them

Lengthy procedures to get Police clearances of employees leads to
delay in deployment of guards

Lack of gunman in the market because government has suspended
sanctioning gunman license. Marshal has only 45 gunmen
The company is among top ten Private Security Service providers in
Bangladesh

As the company is yet to be a part of ICOC certification, we conclude
that the company is striving for becoming World Class

Operations are confined only to Bangladesh

development of skilled security forces and good working environment

commercial areas like in jewelry establishments, where the
security risks are high.

The industry wants to develop partnership with the
international bodies, that is ICOC to comply with
international codes and practices.
