NOW IS THE TIME FOR SECURITY INDUSTRY TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SERVICES

Magenta Security Services’ boss highlights need for security industry to support public services

A combination of uncertainty over Brexit negotiations and recent cut backs in other areas of police funding has highlighted an opportunity for the private security industry to support public services.

“Brexit is putting an incredible strain on resources of all types across the UK, including the police force, who are preparing contingencies for a host of challenges ahead of March 29. When combined with the selling off of police assets and the reduction in officers on the street it makes life very difficult when it comes to the prevention of criminal activity,” comments Abbey Petkar, managing director of Magenta Security. “I have incredible respect for the police. They are doing a tough job under difficult circumstances and deserve our support.”

“The khaki boys in Nigeria must come to the national altar with penitent hearts, ask God for forgiveness for all their sins against Nigeria – their unwarranted interruption in the democratic processes in Nigeria, robbing Nigeria and Nigerians of continuity in democratic processes, their national commons, inaugurating the culture of wealth without sweating (wealth without working), yielding themselves to the Fulbe and Arab colonialists, who took over on the departure of the British colonialists. And if they are truly penitent, they must emulate the Biblical Zacchaeus and restitute accordingly, Luke 19:1-10.”
