The United Arab Emirates has a long history of Hiring security guards from different countries for the protection of both public and private properties. PSBD security is the name of the private security regulation in the UAE which refers to the Private Security Business Department.

In the past, an individual or a company hired a person like a watchman and paid him according to their will. Most of the people who worked in the security industry were untrained and ill-paid.

After the PSBD security legislation was issued in 2001, significant changes occurred in the country’s private security industry. The department has changed its name twice, PSBD to PSCOD to ASSD.

The reasons for implementing private security legislation;

When the UAE began diversifying its economic model from oil to service and industry sectors. The demand for private security personnel surged. It was the primary reason for the growth of private security companies in the UAE, particularly in Dubai.

Tourism was the most focused point on Dubai’s economic diversification, therefore, massive government expenditure went to construct the most attractive infrastructure such as Burj Khalifa tower, Dubai palm Island, Dubai mirror and mysterious garden, etc.

When the country succeeded to attract millions of visitors every year the world’s most luxurious hotels established their branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

A massive construction boom, expanding manufacturing base, and a thriving services sector are helping tools to modernize the security regulation in the country.

Before the new security regulation in 2001, there was a practice of a cleaner company supplying security guards to private businesses and institutions.

A cleaner could serve as a security guard or as cleaning personnel, depending on the company’s needs.

After the legalization of private security, all the security companies came under the federal department of the UAE government.

Now, many people around the world want to be part of UAE security forces, especially from developing countries such as India, Pakistan, Nepal, the Philippines, and African nations.

Do you want to be a security guard in UAE?

If your answer is yes, eventually you are at the right place I can guide you step by step on every process that you have to complete before being a security guard.

Why should you work as an ASSD security in the UAE?

Even though it is a less interesting job in their home country people want to work as security guards in the UAE because of the professionalism in the occupation.

I have experience in the security field last for 10 years I started my carrier as a security guard to the security manager. Here is some reason people love to work as a security guard in UAE:

  1.  Good salary package
  2. Respectable job
  3. Professional training
  4. The authority constantly observed the Security companies for violations of an employment contract.
  5. Security guards consider that the member of the national defense.
  6. The employers cannot cheat on salary because they have to pay which is defined by the Security department.

There are two types of security systems in UAE one is DPS (Dubai Protective Security) New name is “SIRA” and PSCOD (Private security company organization department) generally known as PSBD.

What is PSBD security?

PSBD stands for private security business department, and it is the umbrella organization for all private security companies. Security companies provide guarding services for their clients in 6 (Abu Dhabi Ajman, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm, and Al Quwain) Emirates comes under the PSBD regulation.

Formation of PSBD

PSBD is a unit of Abu Dhabi police and part of the ministry of interior. It was formed in 2002 after the new security regulation started in Abu Dhabi.

Today PSBD is a federal department, and the staff of the PSBD mixed with police officers and civilian support And it has offices in several emirates.

PSBD responsibilities.

1) Stabilizing security regulatory standards.
2) Approving the Security Company and security guard.
3) Ensuring quality security training and standards.
4) Examining and licensing security companies and guards.
5) Inspecting companies and guards, ensuring compliance with federal law.37
6) Enforcing the private security law with fines and prosecutions through a process of daily monitoring and review.

  • A person only can do a security job after having a license from PSBD in UAE except for Dubai.

The process and time to be a PSBD guard.

Step 1;

Prior to obtaining a PSBD license, you must get a job in any security company in the UAE. The organization might hire you in your home country or in the United Arab Emirates.

If you are not in the UAE, the company will complete the appropriate documentation to obtain a labor contract as well as a visa for you.

Step 2;

After entering the UAE the company would apply for training in NSI (National Security Institute).

The training runs for 5 days where trainees learn various knowledge about rights and privileges, law, safety and security measures, and other related security skills.

Step 3;

When a trainee successfully passes the NSI training then he/she can apply for the PSBD test. The company would apply for a PSBD test for the candidate.

Step 4;

PSBD does not provide any training for security guards only to give an exam for a license. Most of the questions come from the basic security guard training with NSI, so, you should be prepared for that.

Step 5;

There is not any written exam. The test would conduct on the computer screen you have to select the right answer from the options.

To pass this exam you have to give 38 correct answers out of 60 questions which are 75% out of 100.

Step 6;

The result publishes immediately once you press the submit button and the license would grand within 3 days.

Note:-The company can deploy you for the duty after obtaining the PSCOD license. While on Duty always bring the PSBD license otherwise you will get a fine in case of authority inspection of the stander.

Conclusion: The PSBD security course has changed since it has become more taught than previously. The ASSD security guard training at NSI is at level 3, and it includes a variety of Skills.
