Bandar Seri Begawan - Security services in the Sultanate are always ready especially in the roles of peacekeeping and securing a building or an open public area. Security officers and personnel should be extra vigilant against negative elements that would jeopardise safety and properties.

Dato Paduka Haji EussoffAgaki urged security officers and personnel to give their full cooperation with the relevant authority to prevent any crime from happening and defend the sovereignty of the nation.
