The Private Security Regulation Authority (PSRA) serves as Jamaica's official regulatory body for the private security industry. Established in 1992 under the PSRA Act, the Authority operates under the Ministry of National Security, ensuring that private security services adhere to national standards of professionalism and integrity.

The PSRA's core responsibilities include licensing and monitoring contract and proprietary security organizations, private security guards, private investigators, and security trainers. By granting, refusing, suspending, or canceling licenses and registration cards, the Authority maintains oversight of the industry's operations.

 

Embracing technological advancements, the PSRA has introduced online renewal services and a Mobile Registration Unit (MRU) to enhance accessibility and efficiency in the licensing process. These initiatives aim to streamline operations and ensure compliance across the sector.

 

With a commitment to continuous improvement, the PSRA collaborates with stakeholders to uphold the highest standards in the private security industry, contributing to Jamaica's overall safety and security framework.
