Private security agencies will now be allowed to buy, import directly or hire arms and ammunitions for use from the Ministry of Interior provided they fulfill a set of strict criteria to be decided by the Interior Minister.
Staff members of a private security agency will, however, require special licences from the Interior Ministry to use a gun. The manager of a security company which buys or hires weapons will be responsible for their safekeeping.
All private security firms will need special permits from the Interior Ministry to operate. The manager of such a firm is to be essentially a former Qatari policeman or from any public security agency, including the army, navy or air force. The Interior Minister can, though, exempt a company from this condition.
The Deputy Emir and Heir Apparent, H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, yesterday endorsed a law (No. 19 of 2009) which comes into force after being published in the official gazette.
