Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Public Security Department (PSD) Director General, Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Faqih, has decided to set up a special unit to protect investment as an independent entity that provides security to businesses and investors.

The decision is in implementation of the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II to protect and encourage investment and an attractive environment for business as "the nerve of the economy and the cornerstone of the process of economic reform and development," according to a PSD statement.

The new unit, which will directly, promptly and firmly address complaints by investors, will start its work as of today and will maintain round-the-clock contacts with all investors via a special database, a hotline and operation rooms in the Kingdom's various regions.

It will deploy fixed and mobile security patrols in and around industrial complexes, in addition to two divisions of the Preventive Security and Criminal Investigations within the unit that will gather intelligence about any security violations, the statement said.

The security unit, it pointed out, will act as a link between investors and all other security and administrative bodies to meet investors' needs and demands, and will work with the ministries of interior, industry and trade, the Investment Promotion Commission and chambers of industry and trade to address all obstacles and hindrances to investment.
