Long Hai Security Services JSC was founded, licensed and registered on September 6, 1995 by General Phan Van Xoan (retired), who was formerly commander-in-chief of the Ministry of the Interior’s internal security division, with more than 40 years of responsibility for the protection of Vietnam’s leaders including President Ho Chi Minh. Long Hai is the first licensed security services company in Ho Chi Minh City.
In December, 2009 Long Hai became a Joint Venture Joint Stock Company with investment from Securitas AB, a knowledge leader in security services which began in Sweden in 1934. Securitas now has more than 300,000 employees in 51 countries.
Like Long Hai, the famous (since 1850) American security consulting and investigation Company, Pinkerton C&I, is also “A Securitas Company”. Long Hai protects homes, workplaces and the community, following the Securitas core values of Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness. It has approximately 2,200 full-time security personnel throughout Vietnam, who have all completed and successfully passed Long Hai Security's minimum training course and are certified by the Ministry of Public Security. The company operates nationally, not only in Ho Chi Minh City but also in the cities of Hanoi, Danang, Can Tho, and Haiphong as well as in provinces including Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Bac Ninh, Dong Nai, Long An, Binh Duong, Hai Duong and Tien Giang.
Being “Vietnam’s Security Professionals” has always been the company’s goal, which is why its 200 clients are mainly MNCs, including factories and distribution centres specializing in FMCG, agricultural products and high-tech electronics; international logistics centres; 17 foreign banks in Vietnam; the only international university; a foreign-invested gold mine; 11 Embassies and Consulates General; five foreign oil & gas companies; two major foreign hotels in Ho Chi Minh City; and four of the top office buildings in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Along with its founder General Xoan, Long Hai’s three Deputy General Directors namely Mr Phan Nam, Ms Duong Thi Thu Thuy, and Mr Cu Hoang Nong manage Long Hai’s day-to-day operations from its HCMC Head Office, supported by Ms Bui Thi Hoa, Sales Manager, and Mr Graham Potter, Director of Business Development. The company’s largest branch, in Hanoi, is managed by Director Mr Pham Quy and Deputy Directors Ms Le My Dung, Mr Pham Hai Son and Ms Nguyen Thi Lan Anh.
Long Hai’s “firsts” include being the first security company in Vietnam to offer 24-hour Central Alarm Monitoring (CMS service), the first to offer Security Transportation (CIT service---Long Hai is the Vietnam representative of Brink’s Global Services), the first to obtain extensive corporate insurance (Professional Indemnity, Public Liability, Fidelity Guarantee and Armoured Car coverage), and the first to obtain ISO Certification (ISO 9001:2008 from SGS – UKAS).
Throughout the world, effective security now means the convergence and integration of Human Resources (trained guards) together with technology (Surveillance Cameras, Access Control, Intruder Alarms and Remote Video Monitoring). Long Hai recently began Mobile Patrol service and late in 2012 plans to offer “Technical Solutions” (electronic security systems and equipment)---always using the global knowledge of Securitas to support Long Hai’s local expertise and experience.
