The inspection by Sølvberget Sikkerhet has revealed, among other things, that security guards have worked without the necessary approval and training, and others have been employed without a legally required police certificate. Nor did the general manager of the company have the necessary approval to run security services. The general manager has previously worked for over 20 years in the police. The reason given by the police is that the company has not been able to document that they operate according to the requirements set for a security company. It is possible to appeal the decision from the police to the Directorate of Police. But in the meantime, the company is not allowed to continue its operations. news has been in contact with the general manager of Sølvberget Sikkerhet. He does not want to comment on the decision to the police. Not allowed to operate even if the case is appealed – Once the decision has been made and Sølvberget has been notified, they do not have the opportunity to operate guard operations even if the complaint is processed by the Police Directorate, says Torill Sorte, unit manager for the administration department in the South-East police district, to news . – So from now on it’s the hook on the door? – Yes. But then there will be an opportunity to appeal our decision. news has written about the company in previous articles.
