Al Zaeem Security Guards Iraq - A Superior Service

Rusty old AK-47s, ill-fitting uniforms, Low pay, Low morale, No training. Not at Al Zaeem.

Moving around Iraq, Camps, Oil Fields, we often see security staff neglected, the items above just some of the persistent issues.

These items are not just an indicator of a lack of care, it indicates that you are more vulnerable if using a low-grade service, potential attackers know this, as part of an attack cycle there is surveillance.

Who do you think makes an easier target? Well trained and motivated guards with modern weapons systems? Or guards stood bored, in rags, with dirty old weapons and equipment?

It’s obvious isn’t it. Read on to discover why we have a superior service and why it keeps you safer.

Whilst the security situation in Iraq is safer than it has been for a long time, there is still a requirement for well trained guards, as under the surface, a threat remains, Iraq can be volatile, political changes happen over night and by morning you can be facing a very real new threat.

We train for this, we teach our teams to understand the threat and intelligence picture and to adapt accordingly.

Al Zaeem was established just two years ago, with a vision to bring more adaptable, dynamic security to the environment, we have worked hard on this the past 24 month and achieved success with new contracts, ISO certifications and a team that has stayed the distance.

The key areas for us to maintain an edge, a unique selling point for our security guards and protective services is our training, Al Zaeem has a heavy focus on teaching personnel to think for themselves, giving them the correct tools and building capacity.

We do this with enhanced medical training, defensive driver training, the recruitment of former Iraqi military personnel and continuation training in subjects ranging from advanced small team tactics, to human rights and customer care. We emphasise professionalism, it’s at our core.

Some items that set us apart in Basra:

TCCC trained guards and PSD teams, constant continuation training, English language requirement for every PSD team member, modern weapon systems including pistols and M4s, focus on customer delivery, human rights, intelligence, navigation and counter-surveillance for the purpose of making us a harder target.

Using these skills, we provide Static Guarding services and close protection, with highly experienced European trainers based in Basra, Baghdad and Erbil.

As well as the conventional security training for the teams we also assist them with advanced learning in Security Risk management, helping staff to gain useful qualifications so they may climb the ladder.

We see this as a responsibility for a better Iraq.

This training, plus the local knowledge of the teams keeps us well-rounded, at the tip of the spear, ready to protect and mitigate threats should they arise.

We see this making a difference already, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients, the consensus being that our services are a “refreshing change to the norm”

Going forward, Al Zaeem has a commitment to our staff through innovation, our Management style is one “best idea wins” we do not employ “yes men or women” in Security, not listening to detractors, not listening to your lowest members of staff is a recipe for disaster, negative comments and critical feedback must be listened too, if it’s objective we can adapt, failure to do so is a fast way to business ruin. As such we love it when our staff think of ideas, have a new approach or bring something to the table.

We also commit to innovation in security through modern, technological approaches, A.I, Drones, Cyber security, these are going to be the security growth areas in Iraq and on our team, we have personnel skilled in such areas, we look forward to developing more in this area.

In short, if you require security professionals, be it close protection or static guards in Iraq look no further, we are proud to say we are not the cheapest, who should want to be? Cheap has never been an indication of quality, and if its quality security you require, Al Zaeem should be your first call.

After all, quality security increases your survivability, increases your reputation and mitigates your risk
