Amalgamated Security Services Ltd (ASSL) participated in the Nature Seekers Beach Clean-up Week 2022
Amalgamated Security Services Ltd (ASSL) participated in the Nature Seekers beach clean-up 2022 which occurred over a one-week period from 27th February to 12th March 2022. The Beach clean-up week’s main purpose was to remove trash and debris from the beaches and waterways along the 8 mile Matura beach stretch. Ten (10) ASSL employees participated in the clean-up exercise which supports a holistic approach and applied the ASSL motto “For Total Protection” to not only security but the environment as well.
This location was chosen because the Matura Beach turtle nesting site is particularly significant for the endangered leatherback sea turtles who return to these shores annually to lay their eggs. It is imperative for us as a responsible corporate citizen to care for nature and our wildlife. In addition to caring for the environment, we also made donations to the NGO with supplies including over 500 face masks, hand sanitizers, and garbage bags to ensure a clean and safe environment is maintained for the turtles as well as the villagers.
Amalgamated Security Services Ltd (ASSL) Pledges towards the Restoration of St. Francis of Assisi Church – Belmont
The St Francis of Assisi R.C. Church, Circular Road Belmont, marks its 120th anniversary in 2022. To commemorate this occasion, a fundraising Gala was launched, namely, the Belmont Heritage Benefit to have the first phase of the restoration of the church completed by May 2022. The St. Francis church has not been used for over ten years because of disrepair in and around it: a leaking roof; termite infestation and porous walls which made it unsafe. Designed by Irish architect George Coppinger Ashlin. The church was built in one year, back in 1903.
During a news conference on March 10th, 2022, at the Pastoral Centre on St. Francis church's compound, Jose Nivet, and Dennis McComie said, “If we stop restoration works at the end of phase one, we don’t know when we will restart, because it took us ten years to get to phase one. This is why we decided to go ahead with phase two.” Phase two will cost approximately $5 million.
Amalgamated Security Services Ltd (ASSL) pledged its support towards the completion of this project. We strongly believe that both private and public sector organizations should partner with the committee and invest in preserving a vital part of our nation’s history.

ISO 18788:2015 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving the management of security operations. It provides the principles and requirements for a security operations management system (SOMS). ISO 18788:2015 provides a business and risk management framework for organizations conducting or contracting security operations and related activities and functions while demonstrating:
- conduct of professional security operations to meet the requirements of clients and other stakeholders;
- accountability to law and respect for human rights;
- consistency with voluntary commitments to which it subscribes.
ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012. is a management standard for quality of private security company operations.The standard seeks to operationalise the International Code of Conduct (ICoC) within a formal structure familiar to businesses. That structure, with national and international supervision, provides auditable procedures for the development of the standard, certification to it, and monitoring of ongoing compliance.[2] It incorporates elements of the Montreux Document.
