As Suriname enters a new era of economic expansion, fueled by its promising oil and gas sector, the country is evolving into a hub of opportunity. With growth comes the need for world-class security services. Leading the way is Professional Private Security N.V.

PPS started operations in 1990, and since 2016 established itself as the corporate security partner in Suriname, delivering customized solutions for industries demanding the highest standards. “We’ve been aiming our services, our products, everything toward providing security the way these industries demand,” says CEO Badwie Chehin. Throughout the years their expertise has gained international recognition, with partnerships including global security leaders like Brinks, G4S and HSBC.

PPS is also at the forefront of innovation, integrating drone technology for rapid incident response. “Drones will allow us to assess situations quickly, helping police, fire, or ambulance teams respond more effectively as well,” explains Chehin. Additionally, PPS is launching a cybersecurity department this year to meet growing digital security needs.

Beyond security, PPS is embracing sustainability, investing in electric vehicles and modernizing its infrastructure. “Our goal is to comply with green standards and lead by example,” says Chehin. With Suriname on the rise, PPS stands ready to ensure growth is built on safety, innovation, and resilience. “We’re eager to learn, adapt, and help build a secure future for Suriname,” Chehin affirms a vision of stability and success in a thriving nation.
