An Inspiring Message from Mr. Gopal Singh Tanwar, Managing Director, Om Security Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Every year, Private Security Day serves as a meaningful reminder of the dedication, discipline, and unwavering commitment shown by lakhs of private security professionals across India. These guards stand as the first line of defence in our everyday lives—at offices, homes, industries, hospitals, malls, events, and countless places where safety cannot be compromised, even for a moment.
As the Managing Director of Om Security Solutions Pvt. Ltd., and in my experience of closely working with thousands of security guards, supervisors, and field officers, I have always believed one thing:
Security guards are not just employees—they are protectors, guardians, and the backbone of safety in modern society.
On this Private Security Day, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to every security guard who stands tall with responsibility, courage, and a deep sense of duty.
The Unseen Heroes We Often Overlook
When we think of safety, we often imagine police, military, or emergency forces. Yet, in the background, another force works tirelessly—private security professionals.
While the world sleeps, they stay alert.
While others celebrate, they stand on duty.
While crowds gather, they maintain order.
While risks arise, they take the first step forward.
Their contribution is rarely highlighted, yet their impact is felt everywhere.
A guard’s day begins before sunrise and often continues long after the world has closed its doors. From checking visitor entries, monitoring CCTV, and patrolling premises to preventing theft, resolving conflicts, and responding during emergencies, security personnel take decisions that directly protect lives and property.
They may not wear stars on their shoulders, but they carry responsibility on their hearts.
Private Security: A Pillar of India’s Safety Network
Private security has emerged as one of the largest security forces in India, supporting government agencies and strengthening national security infrastructure. Today, more than 80 lakh private security guards serve across the nation. They ensure smooth functioning of:
- Corporate offices
- Residential societies
- Government buildings
- Hotels and malls
- Industrial and warehouse locations
- Banks and ATMs
- Hospitals and educational institutions
- Events and VIP programs
Their presence brings order where chaos can arise and creates confidence where fear may exist. This makes private security not just relevant but indispensable to India’s overall safety ecosystem.
The Spirit of a Security Guard: Discipline, Duty & Devotion
In my years of leadership at Om Security Solutions, I have witnessed extraordinary courage and commitment.
I have seen guards who ran toward danger to protect others.
I have met guards who worked long hours so their families could live with dignity.
I have seen guards stop crimes, prevent accidents, and save precious lives.
These moments remind me of the powerful truth:
A security guard is not defined by the uniform, but by the heart behind the uniform.
The qualities that make a great security professional are not just taught—they are lived:
✔ Discipline that guides every action
✔ Alertness that never sleeps
✔ Integrity that stands unshaken
✔ Courage that rises in crisis
✔ Respect that earns trust
These values form the soul of private security services.
Om Security Solutions: Proud to Serve, Train & Empower

Under the guidance of our dedicated trainers and supervisors, our guards receive continuous training in:

- Soft skills & communication
As the Ex-President of the Association for Security Associates, I have consistently advocated for better recognition, training standards, and welfare for security guards. Their profession deserves the same dignity and respect as any other essential service.
The Challenges They Face—and How They Rise Above Them
A security guard’s role is far from easy. They stand during harsh winters, scorching summers, and long nights. They deal with unpredictable situations, challenging visitors, and high-pressure moments. Yet they maintain calm, discipline, and control.
This resilience comes from their sense of duty.
They understand that someone’s safety depends on their alertness.
Someone’s home depends on their presence.
Someone’s business depends on their protection.
Someone’s peace depends on their vigilance.
That is why, even in difficulty, they remain steadfast.
A Message of Motivation to All Security Personnel
To every guard serving with discipline and dedication, I want to say this:
You are important.
Your role matters.
Your service keeps society moving.
Never underestimate the impact of your duty.
Never doubt the value you bring to the world.
Walk with pride—because you are the shield people trust.
Your uniform symbolizes responsibility.
Your posture reflects discipline.
Your presence creates safety.
You are the guardian others rely on.
Our Commitment for the Future

Conclusion: A Salute to Every Security Hero
As we celebrate Private Security Day, let us remember:
Behind every safe office, society, hospital, or event—there stands a guard who makes that safety possible.
Today, I salute every security guard for their contribution to society.
Your service is seen, valued, and appreciated.
May you continue to perform your duties with honor, courage, and pride.
Jai Hind.
