Security Services in Paraguay
Transnational criminal organizations facilitate the illicit trafficking of arms, narcotics, and other goods in Paraguay, particularly along Paraguay’s eastern border with Brazil, most prominently from Pedro Juan Caballero south to Ciudad del Este, including the Tri-Border Area of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. Coupled with the lack of sufficient police enforcement, the involvement of these organizations heightens violent crime in these areas. The U.S. Embassy in Asuncion requires U.S. government personnel and their family members to provide advance notice and a travel itinerary when traveling outside of the capital, particularly when traveling to Ciudad del Este, or to the departments of San Pedro, Concepcion, Amambay, and Canindeyu.
Why Security Services Paraguay Are Essential
By integrating security services Paraguay into travel or business operations, risks tied to organised crime and weak law enforcement are significantly reduced.
High Risk of Kidnapping
In addition, several high-profile kidnappings targeting the Paraguayan business community and their families have occurred in the interior of the country, particularly in the department of Concepcion. Three of five victims previously held were kidnapped within a twelve-month period. The government of Paraguay alleged that members of the Paraguayan People’s Army (Ejercito del Pueblo Paraguayo, or EPP), a small, armed military criminal group operating in the departments of San Pedro and Concepcion, were the perpetrators. It was believed these kidnappings were financially motivated, and in the past kidnappers have generally selected targets based on their perceived wealth and willingness to pay ransom. In such scenarios, security services Paraguay become a safeguard for executives and their families, lowering exposure to ransom-driven abductions.
Black Mountain Solutions considers the safety of any clients and its stakeholders paramount and can support clients with security services in Paraguay such as Executive Protection or secure transportation.
Risks at Events
U.S. citizens visiting or residing in Paraguay should also avoid large gatherings or events where crowds have congregated to demonstrate, protest, or cause damage as a by-product of celebrating an event, such as after soccer matches. Corporations and NGOs often adopt security services Paraguay protocols to keep staff away from volatile gatherings.
Risks for Travellers
Black Mountain Solutions can support its stakeholders and clients with the implementation of a robustious Journey Management Plan to support the monitoring of staff movements, and to also identify threats that may present themselves a risk to those staff and stakeholder’s other critical assets.
Risks of Street Crimes
With street crime being prevalent in the cities and the number of pick pockets and armed assaults increasing the need for security services in Paraguay is rising. Robbers are more regularly using motorcycles to suddenly approach victims with a weapon and demand a wallet or purse, before quickly fleeing. Such crimes or muggings have often turned violent due to victims not surrendering such valuables and situations have resulted in the criminals resorting to violence. With motorbike robberies and sudden assaults on the rise, security services Paraguay act as a frontline defence against urban crime.
Personnel can be provided with the know-how to not only react to such incidents but to also reduce the chance or likelihood of them becoming targeted in the first place. Structured awareness programs form part of security services Paraguay, preparing staff to recognise threats early and respond appropriately. Such knowledge can be delivered by a Black Mountain Solutions instructor who will bear experience in delivering security awareness training in austere environments.
