20/01/2011 Mexico City. Private security companies that do not comply with the rules of operation in the Federal District will be closed.
Manuel Mondragón y Kalb, Secretary of Public Security, reported that "we have more than 100 companies closed."
The secretary stated that they will not allow irregular private security companies to operate outside the law:
"When at any given time the requirements are not met, we do not allow the work because it is a fraud to the clients," he said.
The National Private Security Council called on companies to be careful when hiring private security services.
He warned that there are companies that offer security services without official authorization.
Alejandro Desfassiaux, president of the Council, explained that "it is very important that the user of a security company calls the National Private Security Council to verify if the company that is about to be hired is a serious and professional company."
The Secretariat of Public Security of the Federal District reported that on its website it will disseminate the list of private security companies that are affiliated with the Council, so that it does not be surprised.
"Are we not going to allow, nor do we, companies that do not meet requirements to function? we demand that they have a corporate name, that they comply with fiscal aspects," said Mondragón and Kalb.
There are more than 300 companies affiliated with the National Private Security Council.
The Secretary of Public Security of the Federal District and the National Council of Private Security signed a collaboration agreement on Wednesday in order to exchange information and create a crime prevention network.
