KARNATAKA TO E-PUBLISH DETAILS OF PRIVATE SECURITY GUARDS



KARNATAKA WILL BE THE FIRST STATE IN THE COUNTRY 
TO PROVIDE A DATABASE OF SECURITY PERSONNEL


Bhaskar Rao, Inspector General of Police, Internal Security.

Come 2014, and Karnataka will be the first state in the country to provide a database of security personnel, including their family background, previous employer, reason for quitting, and more importantly, biometric details. Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), internal Security, Karnataka, will be the ‘controller’ of these security agencies and their employees, keeping an eagle eye on the activities of the security personnel deployed at different organizations in various capacities.

The website database will contain details of their family b a c k g r o u n d and will help trace those with criminal antecedents. Besides, the site will double as a complaint box where the public can drop in their grievances. Bhaskar Rao, Inspector General of Police, Internal Security, said they are in the process of setting up the database and collecting details of various security agencies from across the state. “There are a total of 1,500 security agencies across Karnataka and 950 of them are licensed. A total of 4.65 lakh employees work as security personnel in different private organizations,” he said.

Rao feels when the police department has a disciplined database of its staff, there should be one for security personnel too, who are greater in number. “There are nearly 1lakh police personnel across Karnataka, ranging from DG-IGP to police constable, whereas security personnel are almost five times more,” he said. Rao said the website is yet to be named. The website will contain a detailed history of security personnel. The data will reveal the entire history of the staff, including their family background. This will help us trace personnel with criminal backgrounds and filter them. It will also help us recruit people with a clean background.
