Community Relations Services

Securiforce is committed to supporting the community in which it operates. We worked very closely with local communities in Iraq and found that our policies were very much appreciated and welcomed. We now have a Community Relations (CR) policy for every project that we embark upon.

We are experienced in operating in areas where local governance is poor and the supply of resources can be limited and contentious. There are often many interested parties with conflicting interests and we can help to resolve these issues. The CR policy needs to be addressed at district, provincial, regional and central government levels and we have a team well versed in dealing at all of these levels.

We have, assisted Sumitomo Corporation and U.S. Department of State with water purification and supply in some of the most difficult areas of Baghdad through our community relations strategies. We pride ourselves on getting to know and understand the problems and difficulties of the areas in which we operate and always seek to adhere to the local customs and culture. Our advisors and consultants, from government level down to community level, are linguists with years of experience in diplomacy and international relations.
