We have recently emabarked on an ambitious project - that of training the national security guards and watchmen all over Oman -totalling approximately 450 personnel. These security personnel do not have a military or police background and are thus quite clueless about the basic security principles and practices. All this time they were learning on the job and were being imparted training by visiting security officers off and on at various locations. There was no structured training module which was being delivered uniformally to everyone.
A basic training programme titled 'ANAQA' which, in Arabic, means 'SMART' (which is also an acronym for 'Smile, Morale, Alert, Respect and Turnout' - the basic qualities/requirements of any security guard) has thus been launched which is being conducted every Wednesday for a batch of 15 personnel (attendance of a larger number would hamper the operations). The programme contains inputs on knowledge about the company, expectations from the cadre, legal issues and strictures, how to do one's job effectivey, emphasis on discipline, turnout and attitude, consequences of security lapses and practical demonstrations. It is expected that by June 2010 all the nationals would have been trained in this basic module. The fourth batch was trained yesterday. Following are some photos from the programmes conducted so far.
