MTS recognised risks to security officers

On behalf of the Minister of Works and Transport, Minister of Public Utilities Robert Le Hunte responded to questions on the intimidation of female MTS security guards by criminals in the Maracas/ St Joseph district.

In the Senate on Tuesday morning, Le Hunte declares that no reports have been received by the Maintenance Training and Security Company Ltd (MTS).

“MTS is committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all its stakeholders, including female security officers, in all the communities it serves. MTS recognised the risk that are associated with security arrangements and has protocols in place to allow any officer to get more immediate support in effectively dealing with any threats which may occur,” said Le Hunte.

While he said these protocols could not be divulged for security reasons, Le Hunte said the MTS collaborates closely with other arms of the protective services.
