Our Personel

 

Griffin Security has put in place a rigorous screening and selection process. All candidates pass an evaluation exam, which tests the skills in the areas of physical fitness, security knowledge, tactical knowledge, driving, weapons handling, specific technical expertise and English language.
Griffin Security has the expertise in mobilising, coordinating and managing a multinational workforce and has been successful in timely execution of complex projects through optimal utilisation of resources.
Further, our security management has ample experience operating in complex tribal areas and high-threat areas and maintains close contact with tribal leaders and relevant authorities in various areas in Yemen. Our team has strong negotiation skills and combines in-depth local knowledge with international security practices.
The Griffin Security Organisation typically operates with different levels of skills and expertise:

• Director of Operations (expatriate)
• Security Managers (expatriate)
• Security Training Instructors (expatriate)
• Maritime security managers (expatriate)
• Maritime officers
• Analysts
• Administration officers (operations room and access control)
• Security Supervisors
• Interpreters (*)
• Close protection officers (VIP close protection)
• Armed escorts (close protection)
• Operators (for control rooms and CCTV surveillance)
• Senior guards
• Guards

Griffin Security currently deploys a total number of approximately 500 security personnel in its ongoing projects. Besides the standard procedures for examining the skills of the employee, all guards working for Griffin have to pass a security specific background check. This background check, depending on the deployment and job location, may entail background checks with political security, the police and the sheik of the tribe the employee is affiliated to. Especially in areas where tribal politics and tribal issues are potentially a subject of concern, "endorsements" and "written guarantees" for the behaviour and performance of individuals have proven to be a valuable tool in order to ensure loyalty and full compliance with company rules and regulations.
Griffin Security draws on a roster of already trained and skilled security officers with different skill-sets. The company ensures to assemble a strong team of skilled guards to perform the duties as per the specific requirements of each client.

* Use of mother tongue translators. Translators whose mother tongue is Arabic will be able to capture the essence of the language upon translating into other languages. It will not only be word for word translation which can lose the meaning of the sentence. The same team will always be with the client to ensure consistency.
All translators are trained in-house on the subject they are translating. Translators will be given in depth training on the field they are translating. They will be familiar with the expressions and jargons of the specific fields whether it is Legal, Mechanics, Engineering, etc. Translators can dress for any occasion when accompanying a client. We will have different dress codes for formal, semi-casual, or casual attire that our translators can refer to. Translators also understand the cultural climate and will assist the client in all cultural situations. Because of cultural differences and the way Yemenis express themselves, translators will step in to explain the different cultural remarks and behaviours to our clients and suggest appropriate responses to those situations.
