With affordability and accessibility as its main focus, the Delta Security Service Company on Friday launched its home security system, which is expected to provide security for families across Guyana.

Under the theme, “Home is where the heart is, protect it with Delta Security Services”, the system was launched on the premises of the Parc Rayne at Rahaman’s Park in Houston, EBD.
The aim of the company is to protect the Guyanese dream by transforming security from a luxury to a necessity through affordability.
The system is presently available to residents of Central Georgetown, East Bank Demerara, West Bank Demerara and Berbice. It will soon be available on the West Coast of Demerara.
Delta Security’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Eddie Deolall, has said this company is the first in Guyana that specialises in emergency response services.
“Delta Security presently has the medical shuttle which is now considered to be the ambulance service. Very shortly, we will have our first fire truck, in addition to our 24/7 roadside assistance that is set up, as well as a 24/7 burglary response,” Deolall revealed.
He added, “Alarms systems in Guyana (are) not new, but (are) considered to be expensive and luxurious. The idea (is) that you must be rich to be able to benefit from this. We have done research that is able to provide and reduce costs for security systems across Guyana. These products are manufactured specifically for the Guyana market.”
Four elderly persons lost their lives last year when bandits invaded their homes. Deolall says that with that in mind, the panic button was created mainly for the elderly.
Social Protection Minister Amna Ally, who was present at the launch, fully endorsed the services to be offered, especially the one provided for the elderly.
“When Mr Deolall visited my office and explained what is to be offered, I was highly impressed. And what caught on very much to me was the…service for our elderly people. You know, I have a passion for the safety of our elderly people. And so when Mr Deolall spoke to me about this panic button, it really caught on to me,” Minister Ally said.
The company’s monthly rate for the provision of security service is $4000, and a wide range of services is on offer.
