Mando is very experienced in the provision of Community Relations and Security Services to Oil & Gas companies. Mando staff has experience in working with DNO, Gulf Keystone and Aspect in the Dohuk province. In Erbil province we have worked with OMV and in Sulaymaniyah province with Shamaran. Oil industry service companies such as Shlumberger, Weatherford and Oilserv are our clients. We have a big foot- print in Kurdistan throughout all three regions. Our services range from securing initial seismic projects over the drilling phase to the construction and running of complete processing facilities and pipelines. Our ‘winning formula’ is focusing on relations with the local community who we often deploy on Access control tasks, backed up by a robust Community Relation (CR) team. Equally important is the relationship with local Government agencies that can assist us should anything unforeseen happen. Usually the operation will also have PSD teams and a Quick Reaction Force, in cooperation with authorities, which is on 24-hour standby throughout the project life- cycle.
No matter how large or difficult your trans-port requirements are Mando can offer assistance from any border point to your final destination within Iraq. Usually Mando’s Convoy Protection Team meet up with the convoy at a border crossing point where we can help facilitate a smooth crossing into Iraq. Depending on the destination and route Mando will tailor-make a Convoy Protection Team that are armed and equipped to deal with threats to the convoy. A key to success is of course to have good liaison with relevant authorities along the route and often Mando personnel will be at police and military headquarters controlling the area where the convoy will pass through.
In the field of armed or unarmed Close Protection Officers our Team Leaders, Close Protection Officers and drivers are highly experienced and trained by expatriate instructors to meet U.K and U.S.A. industry standards. Our Team Leaders usually speak and write Kurdish, English and Arabic. The Mando training cycle requires all our Personal Security Detail personnel to undergo refresher training every six months including but not limited to shooting tests, medical first responder tests and drills as per Mando Standard Operating Procedures. When operating in Kurdistan Mando’s operations room is manned 24/7 and vehicle movement is continually monitored using satellite tracking systems.

In securing static assets such as shopping malls and hotels we believe in hiring quality people with a proven track record of being loyal and hardworking. They reflect the clients’ desired image while at the same time uphold the highest stan- dards of security. Our staff undergo a one / two days training program that is refreshed every sixth months. Mando’s static security guards are trained as per U.K. standards by expatriate instructors. They are also thoroughly vetted by relevant authorities before their training process begins and they are ultimately put on duty at any of the sites we guard. The most robust security system is only as good as the people guarding it and that is one of the reasons Mando’s salaries are higher than most competitors in this field. The guards are usually armed and wear Mando’s uniform. Both male and female guards are employed.
