Low pay, long-hour duty and no training negatively influence the morale of the guards who fail to satisfy the clients.
“I am continuously paying private security companies and changing guards, but now I feel obliged to arrange personal employees instead of hiring from a company as it failed me,” said a business man.

I read through this report on private security companies in Pakistan, and my first impression is that these companies are in dire need of some Jundism. But really, this puts into perspective why so many blog reports and fears were being stirred about foreign security companies in Pakistan. I think that propaganda was fueled by competitors who fear a foreign company coming in and doing a better job of security.
But back to the rise of private security in Pakistan. The company that figures out that treating your employees well, and providing kick ass customer service and satisfaction, will be the company that wins the most contracts. The best guards will gravitate towards your company, because you are doing all the things necessary to attract quality people and maintain your contracts. Companies that apply Kaizen to all aspects of their operation and employee/contractor development, will certainly enjoy dominance in the market place. –Matt

Security companies in Pakistan on rise but at risk
by Imdad Hussain, Yangtze Yan
ISLAMABAD, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) — As the demand for private guards in the terror-torn Pakistan especially in Islamabad is on the rise, many of the private security companies in the country are focusing more on making money than providing adequate services.
Clients in the capital city complain that the private security companies are ignoring the quality of their employees, adding that some companies are not well qualified and their employees not well trained while several companies even enter into illegal operation for profits.
