Abstract

The main purpose of this research paper is to investigate the activities, challenges and opportunities of PSCs in Addis Ababa.Inability of the state to adequately provide security for all has brought about the significant growth in private security companies. Important issues related to PSCs are also raised and discussed including major duties of security guards, roles and powers, registration , certification and licensing, recruitment and training of private security personnel, regulation and possession of armaments .A qualitative methodology was used following explanatory and descriptive research method. To select the sample the researcher used purposive sampling based on their knowledge and experience they have. Data’s are generated and analyzed thematically. The findings from this research indicate that although PSCs in Addis Ababa faces many challenges their contribution can’t be underestimated. The findings further show that there is no regulation. And still works has to be done on training, recruitment and licensing. To curb the problems or the challenges faced by both PSCs and employees the government of Ethiopia is expected to come up with clear and separate regulation which specifically addresses the private security industry and establish a separate regulatory organ with the responsibility regulating and controlling the field.
