New Delhi, Delhi, India
The Central Association of Private Security Industry (CAPSI), in association with the Association of Private Detectives of India (APDI) organized a national Conference on 4th & 5th November on internal Security and Intelligence titled - Security & Intelligence, A New National Vision.
The two day conference was formally inaugurated by Hon'ble Union Minister, Home, Shri Shivraj Patil in the presence of Kunwar Vikram Singh, President, CAPSI, Capt Ravee, Secretary General, CAPSI and other distinguished players and guests from the security industry in India and the U.K.
Favoring utilisation of the private security guards and detectives, Hon'ble Minister, Home, Shri Shivraj Patil, said, "The government is completely aware of the supplementary role that can be played by the private security industry in the country, especially for the purpose of gathering information against terrorist necessary to boost its intelligence network." However, he cautioned the private security and detective agencies to practice self-regulation, mentioning that failure to do so would result in action against those who misuse the power.
Welcoming the PSAR Act 2005 for regulating the Private Investigation business, Kunwar Vikram Singh, President, CAPSI, said "The private security industry can contribute to the information gathering part and this aspect could be a part of the proposed160 hour training for the guards". He suggested that a nodal body could be created that the industry can interact with and pass on the information.
Kunwar Vikram Singh also launched "JAGTE RAHO ABHIYAN" which would render the whole security industry to observe the year 2007 as the year for security and the industry of 5 million guards would work closely with the Govt. to fight terrorism and internal security threats. The Home Minister appreciated this movement as he inaugurated the emblem of JAGTE RAHO ABHIYAN.
Sharing his vision on the role played by Private Security industry, Captain Ravee, General Secretary, CAPSI, said, "Relying completely on the government to provide security is impossible because the priority task to be taken care of by the government security mechanism are so vast. This is where the role of Private security and Investigation industry in contributing towards maintenance of law and order comes to the fore".
