Public Urged to Oppose Draconian Private Security Disarmament

Dear Editor

The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority’s recently published draft regulations will make it harder for private security companies to keep communities safe and must be opposed.

The DA calls for all persons who believe that private security is essential for public safety, to make public submissions against this overreach. The window for public submissions close in just under two weeks, on 25 April 2025. Make your voice heard and say no, here: Regulations@psira.co.za.

Many communities remain under siege due to out of control criminality, which the South African Police Service (SAPS) alone cannot address.

Private security companies are key partners in assisting SAPS in the fight against crime, and must be protected from these draconian regulations.

Regards

Ian Cameron MP
DA Spokesperson on Police
