All head offices are required to maintain Ministry of Interior ("MOI") guards or alternatively MOI trained and permanently licensed private security guards of licensed private security companies, on a 24 hours basis. All branches must also maintain a 24 hour MOI guard. However, if branches satisfy the criteria mentioned in Paragraphs OM-6.1.3 to OM-6.1.22 below, they may maintain MOI guards during opening hours only. Furthermore, branches will be allowed to replace MOI armed guards with private security guards subject to the approval of the MOI. Training and approval of private security guards will be given by the MOI.
