The Office for the Regulation of Security Agencies and Civil Protection (ORASPC) ordered Guinean private security companies to immediately stop deducting agents’ salaries to compensate for losses, fuel theft or shortages recorded at secured sites, according to its statement published on 21 October 2026. The institution warned that companies continuing these practices would face administrative sanctions provided for under sector regulations.
The ORASPC stressed that an agent cannot be held personally responsible for a theft or loss without an adversarial investigation and a court decision establishing their fault. The body also asked companies to review their contracts with clients to clarify the allocation of risks and responsibilities, and invited agents who had suffered unjustified deductions to contact its services with supporting documents, according to statement No. 025/ORASPC/DG/2026.
