The Problem
Private security officers respond faster than SAPS and protect millions of South Africans every day. Government's proposed PSIRA regulations will restrict their firearms, ammunition, magazines, and tactical equipment.
The Reality
Criminals carry illegal weapons with impunity. These regulations punish the law-abiding while leaving criminals entirely unaffected.
Our Position
We oppose regulations that weaken the private security industry. Punishing those who protect us creates more victims.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the proposed PSIRA regulations?
The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority has proposed new rules that restrict the firearms, ammunition types, magazine capacities, and tactical equipment available to private security officers.
How does this affect me if I use armed response?
Your armed response officer may be forced to carry less effective equipment. Response capability is directly tied to the tools available. Weaker equipment means weaker protection for your family.
Why is government doing this?
The stated reason is regulation and oversight. The practical effect is weakening the private security industry at a time when South Africans depend on it more than ever.
