An important consideration is the liability of the resident for the actions of the Security Company. I am told that the resident or business employing the Security company is liable if the company is not registered with PSIRA and someone is injured by the Security company on their property - possibly an enormous liability in the case of a death. ADT and Vetus Schola are registered but PSIRA tell us that OAR is not registered. Take care, David David Raphael 072 065 7223 Chairperson OBS NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
-----Original Message----- From: Justin Ashley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 November 2009 03:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [obsnw] Re: Security companies - debate OAR currently had a criminal case pending against them for operating a secuirty company without the required psira registration. There have been many complaints in this forum and others of OAR not respecting contract cancellations and continuing to debit the bank accounts of ex-customers sometimes for months at a time. CBAR has a negligible client base in Observatory and we believe has list interest in Obs after the well-publicised conflict between the owners of the company disrupted things. ADT gas a large client base in Obs and currently has several vehicles servicing Obs and surrounding areas. ADT currently does not have a specific dedicated Obs vehicle but we are in discussions with them to get one committed here. We will organise a public meeting to discuss this with residents in the New Year. Vetus Schola does not do Armed Redponse in Obs. They are employed by the CID to police public open spaces and prevent crime not respond to individual householders alarms. They are already doing a great job in this regard.
