Could PPPs With Private-Sector Security Companies Help Improve The Operational Effectiveness Of Ghana's Security Agencies?

The security agencies tasked with rooting out galamsey gold miners need the wholehearted support of the Ghanaian media.

They definitely need it to be more effective - and one would encourage the ministers for defence and interior to have journalists embedded with the various Operation Vanguard teams.

It will help keep the nation informed about the progress they are making to root out the galamsey menace, and, above all,  expose the fake news about Operation Vanguard  raids deliberately generated and spread by the criminal syndicates that have grown super-rich from  the massive environmental degradation resulting from illegal gold mining, illegal logging and illegal sand-winning.

Operation Vanguard has thrown up some of the challenges faced by those charged with securing and protecting the airspace, territorial  landmass and 200 mile continental shelf off our nation's coastline in carrying out that vital operational task.

It is unfortunate that they don't even have suitable tents to accommodate the officers and men taking part in Operation Vanguard. Pity. The question is: Have the powers that be never heard of SHIFTPOD tents before? Ebeeii.

It has also become obvious that despite the threat posed by terrorists across West Africa, Ghana's security agencies don't even have the capacity to remotely monitor  every centimeter of the entire landmass of the Republic of Ghana, night and day all year round. Incredible.

The question there is: Are the powers that be unaware of  private security companies such as Northbridge Services Group? Ditto unmanned aerial vehicles such as the  Aerial Vehicle (UAV) IT 180 manufactured by Australia's ECA Group's Airborne Drone Solutions? Haaba.

This blog humbly suggests that bids are invited from the world's leading private security companies with experience of African operations under their belts so to speak - such as Erinys International for example - for private public partnership (PPP) agreements that will  ensure that our security agencies  are provided with bleeding edge technological underpinnings all modern police and militaries  need today, if they are to be effective in ensuring the safety of the Republic of Ghana and all its citizens.

As this blog's humble contribution to making the lives of the Operation  Vanguard teams comfortable, we are publishing two culled pieces about Burning Man SHIFTPOD tents and unmanned aerial platforms.

The Only Tent You Will Ever Need For Burning Man, And Every Other Camping Festival After
April 5, 2017/in News & Features /by Marco Sgalbazzini

Ten days of beautiful and unforgettable memories. Ten days of unimaginable art and mesmerizing music. Ten days of new friendships, random encounters and rollercoaster ups-and-downs. Ten days of sunshine, blue skies and sudden dust storms. Ten days of scorching desert heat and ten nights of freezing-cold temperatures.

Burning Man is all of that and more: one of the most extreme festival experiences with changes so acute it’s known to be a ten-day test of the body, the spirit and the mind, which is why people walk away from Burning Man with renewed spirit, newfound purpose and memories to last a lifetime.

How you choose to live Burning Man, or any other camping festival for that matter, can have a large say in how you walk away from the experience. Camping at Burning Man, or other music and arts festivals, doesn’t have to be painful and full of sacrifices. How? With the SHIFTPOD, voted the number one best innovation for Black Rock Desert camping. Awarded several design and materials patents for their award winning products, the SHIFTPOD 2017 line provides more headroom, black out flies, door screens, military grade Kevlar stitching, and new double-sealed seam system for the best weather protection available, no matter the temperature or conditions. Light weight yet heavy duty, the SHIFTPOD is the most reliable shelter for the worst conditions imaginable, no matter whether you use it as a disaster shelter, on extreme camping trips or for you festival needs.

Despite what you may think, SHIFTPODS can be set up by one person in under two minutes. The idea for the SHIFTPOD was born out of a need for a luxurious all weather shelter that would reflect the heat of the sun, protect from high wind and fine dust and also keep you warm in the cold nights in the desert. That is why SHIFTPODS are the ideal Burning Man tent choice. As a testament to that, the first 300 SHIFTPODS ever produced were tested in the Black Rock Desert at a time when the weather channels were reporting 30-50mph sustained winds with guest to 90mph! The SHIFTPODS stood firm and shed the wind like it was nothing while other tents blew over and literally blew away.

If you’re planning to go to Burning Man this year consider investing in a SHIFTPOD for your comfort and your safety. It’s a worthwhile investment, especially if you’re a regular to the annual gathering, attend other camping festivals throughout the year or enjoy the outdoors.

You can find all information and purchase the SHIFTPOD directly from their website here.
