Alvina Security CEO Urges Government to Crack Down on Illegal Private Security Firms

Published: July 15, 2026

MONROVIA – The Chief Executive Officer of Alvina Security Services Inc., Chief Alvin Mckay, has called on the Government of Liberia, particularly the Public Safety Department of the Ministry of Justice, to strengthen oversight of the country’s private security sector by investigating all security firms and prioritizing companies that comply with the law.

McKay said the private security industry plays a vital role in supporting state security institutions by protecting businesses, government facilities, financial institutions, residential communities, and other critical infrastructure while creating jobs and contributing to national development.

Speaking ahead of the company’s fourth anniversary celebration, he urged the government to recognize and support private security companies that have demonstrated professionalism, integrity and full compliance with Liberia’s legal and regulatory framework.

He called on the Public Safety Department to conduct a comprehensive assessment of all licensed and operating private security firms, including verification of business registration certificates, Ministry of Justice clearances, tax compliance, operating licenses and other statutory requirements.

“The Government must prioritize private security companies that are performing well within the private sector. At the same time, the Public Safety Department at the Ministry of Justice should conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that every security company is legally registered, properly licensed, and fully compliant with the laws of Liberia,” Chief Mckay said.

According to him, stronger regulation and continuous monitoring would help eliminate illegal operators, improve professionalism, enhance public confidence and promote greater accountability within the private security industry.

Mckay reaffirmed Alvina Security Services Inc.’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and pledged to continue working with the Government of Liberia and other stakeholders to advance peace, public safety and national security across the country.

He also encouraged the public to participate in the company’s fourth-year anniversary celebration as Alvina Security Services reflects on its contributions to the country’s security sector and renews its commitment to quality service.
