Abstract
This project contributes to the limited published information on Caribbean private security companies (PSCs) by providing case studies of the private security industry in St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. The report provides a summary of activities, outputs and recommendations. Case study research and analysis benefitted from active engagement of government and industry experts which was concentrated in officials from larger Caribbean companies. Small and proprietary companies proved reluctant to participate. The project was a welcome opportunity to debate and advance policy on PSC regulation in the Caribbean. A summary policy brief was published for wider circulation.
