The Bahamas: Government cracks down on private security firms employing non-nationals

The Bahamas government will hold a seminar on Friday with stakeholders as it cracks down on private security firms illegally hiring non-nationals for positions and violating the law.

Chief Counsel in the Ministry of National Security, Paul Jones, says they have been suspecting that a number of non-Bahamians may be working in the area, and persons may be illegally employing them. 

He says as far as he knows, it's an industry restricted for Bahamians.

Companies hiring non-Bahamians or unlicensed personnel face fines ranging from US$500 to US$2,000.
