RK’S Guyana Security Services commenced business in August 7, 1979. It was a most humble and amazing start with the initial capital investment of $7.50 (G) (seven Guyana dollars and fifty cents), which purchased one and half gallon of gasoline. It started with one person, our CEO/Founder, who was the proprietor, the supervisor, secretary/typist and recruiter. Most times he would travel with his little typewriter on his lap on his motor cycle while supervising and would write introductory letter and print accounts for service. On many occasions, he was the security guard holding for watchmen when he provided supervision on behalf of companies. For several years our CEO never had rest exceeding 45 minutes to two hours.

The first customer was Hong Kong Restaurant, then Circle, CJ’s, Charlie Khan, M. Beepat and Sons Ltd, R. Saywack Dry Goods., Sylvie’s Variety, Daswaney’s, Taj Mahal, DA Thani, Kirpalani’s, Bhagwan Dry Goods, and then came Prashad’s Hospital and Health Foods Outlet, Samson’s Enterprises, Squirrel Manufacturing, Ricks and Sari, and we continued to expand over the years. M. Beepat and Son’s Limited and Sylvie’s Variety are still our customers since the pioneering days of 1979 and early eighties.

With great discipline, ambition and vision, Mr. Roshan Khan, supported by some dynamic and loyal officers took the business to historical heights. The service was taken to New Amsterdam, Rose Hall, Port Mourant, Black Bush Polder, Corriverton and Crabwood Creek. Other agencies where then inspired to follow suit. Later it was taken to Anna Regina and then Linden Town. In 2007, RK’s expanded to service locations in Regions One, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten. Serving such areas and communities that can be reached only by plane as well as others deep in the Amazon Jungle including Kimbia, Kurupung, Matthews Ridge, the Rupunni, etc.

It moved into Alarms Systems and Surveillances, and now set to establish a new dimension in security soon in Guyana.

Today RK’s employs over 1,200 workers nationwide, handling Banks, Embassies and Diplomatic Residences, factories, Ministries, and over 300 locations nationwide.

We look upon this as an inspiration to Guyanese and young people. A modern day rags to success story, which can help people, especially the youths to understand, that what the mind can conceive, it can be achieved. The policy of RK’s is: We will go anywhere you want us. If any media wish to have a one on one Interview with the Founder, this can be arranged by contacting the undersigned.

In addition to being the founder of RK’s Guyana Security Services, he is also founder of RK’s Enterprises, RK’s Institute of Motoring, and is now establishing ECO-Star Motors, good for the economy, excellent for the environment, which will be launched in the near future. He is President of the Guyana Islamic Forum for Education, Peace and Religious Solidarity. He is a co-founder of the Guyana Association of Private Security Organisations, and served as President, Secretary and Treasurer. He is also founder of and manages the Latifan Humane Foundation for Charity, Peace and Conflict Transformation (named after his mother), and the Electric Mosque’s: Teachings of Islam. Mr. Roshan Khan is a Senior Ambassador of Peace of the Universal Peace Federation, and has travelled to Japan , South Korea , USA , and other countries as a Peace Ambassador.

The management has decided to celebrate the occasion with a multi-faith prayer service, to host Feeding of the Poor programmes, to serve lunch to the Joshua House Orphanage, The Dharm Sala, and the Ptolemy Reid Centre. We intend to do two clean up campaign in the city and to donate blood to the blood bank of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

Praise and thanks to god almighty for having provided the wisdom, the strength, the vision and power to our ceo and founder, through whom thousands of mouths are fed and their welfare taken cared, directly and indirectly.
