dose anyone know if there are private security guarding companies where i can contract a security guard

I do not know of any private companies that provide that service, but you can place an ad for someone.  My question is why?  :rolleyes: It is really quite safe here in Tripoli.  My family and I go out every weekend around the city to parks, beaches, shopping etc and we have never had any trouble whatsoever. 
I guess you could use your driver as a security guard which some people may do.

Alot of people have 'guards' at their houses, but TBH they're more "guard"-eners than security and are a deterrent by presence only. If you use your driver as a guard then who's looking after the house while you're out?
If it's for commercial property then there is a firm that provides security to most of the big hotels and major oil companies. Mostly ex military and about as good as you will find here.

Edit: if you employ a 'guard' yourself, get a reference from a previous employer, if possible get them vetted and keep their passports. Make sure it is their passport and not a forgery....

Oh, houseboy - "guard".  I had assumed that if one is living in Palm city a houseboy was not required, so they were looking for personal security guard.  Anyways, .... :whistle:

@ Mudman ; thanks for the tip

@ bluejay : lol thats funny ; actually i was thinking if i have the option not to live in palm city ; where can i get a good security guard from ; some of my friends told me that there is a private foreign company is taking care of palm city ( is that true)

Jo-mo, despite another thread about attacks on expat women, it  is surprisingly safe here. I, like many other expats, live in a house on the edge of town in what was a farming area. I feel safe here, I like having the guard-ener here as a deterrent, plus he cuts the grass & cleans the pool. I like the peace & quiet and the space. Bars on the windows & doors are the price we pay for that :)

Usmankpk,
quit picking on our Mud and Sand.... gotta love their non-pc ability to cutto the chase and humor! 

Also, I think they TOTALLY get Libya.  You just can't stand looking at your country with the perspective they and others provide. 

Truth hurts, but acknowledgement leads to growth. 

There are a lot of great things about your country for sure, but having lived long term in about 8 countries and visited about 25 others, I have to say Libya is about the most challenging (and that's putting it very PC) I've ever been exposed to.
