Owners of security companies in Huye district have vowed to review on the way they safeguard their properties and how they provide security to their clients to avert risks including theft.

They made the vow during their meeting with the district administration and security organs in the entity to devise strategies to tighten security of their properties and that of their clients.

Eugene Kayiranga Muzuka,Huye District Mayor, presided over the fuction held in Huye town on September 9.

Secondary school  headteachers  in the district were part of the attendees.

Mayor Kayiranga appealed to the participants to avoid putting one sentry at work place,saying,“It is hard for one sentry on duty to counter external attacks. There is need to deploy more than one sentinel to avert risks related to the aloneness,” he explained to the participants.

Chief Supt. of Police (CSP),Tom Murangira,Huye District Police Commander (DPC),cautioned  headteachers over employing unprofesional sentinels who also use inappropriate security tools like sticks, deemed useless in case of an armed assault.

He urged them to work with security companies to have their properties fully protected.

Among the strategies, included a monthly meeting which will be bringing together the owners of the security companies, headteachers and security organs in the entity to lay mechanisms to ensure and reinforce security in the schools and that of the security campanies' clients.

CSP Murangira urged the participants to always hurry to inform Police and other security organs of any security issue for quick response.
