Article by Lydia Mshare & Ines Kajiru
Abstract
This article examines the effectiveness of the legal framework regulating the private security industry in Mainland Tanzania. The study found that the existing legal framework is not effective in regulating the private security industry. The study concluded that the legal framework regulating the private security industry in Mainland Tanzania is not effective since the existing legal framework is not adequate to govern the private security industry. The study recommends that there is a need to ensure that there is an effective legal framework system that will govern matters related to the private security industry in Mainland Tanzania. This can only be achieved by having in place comprehensive laws that will control all matters related to standard training, vetting of private security personnel, how to use firearms, arrest, respect for human rights, customer care and establishing an electronic database for all registered private security service providers in Tanzania. One important measure is the law to have a provision that provides an independent regulatory authority responsible for overseeing and regulating the private security industry in Mainland Tanzania.
