The catalyst for actually moving into a commercial
venture and registering the company was the fact that
there was a need for quality guard services at the time.
That’s how we started off.”
The venture was first christened as Pegasus Services
Ltd. in San Fernando, Trinidad, and Kalliecharan was
installed as its chief executive officer in January 1998.
The initial backbone of the operation, he said, was
mainly the provision of guard services to other compa-
nies, and later the general public.
The business has since expanded to between 350
and 400 employees, most of whom serve in guard-
related functions; though the menu of services has
similarly swelled to include bodyguard activities, prop-
erty patrolling and IT-related responsibilities – such
as closed-circuit television, alarm systems and GPS
– that combine to offer clients a fully-integrated and
robust security program.
Pegasus facilities include an administrative and IT
center on Coffee Street in San Fernando, as well as an
operations center located about a mile to the east on
Lazzari Terrace.
The company’s customers typically come in two forms,
with general alarm systems, response and CCTV tasks
most often requested by residential clients local to the
Pegasus home base. Meanwhile, most of the guard
services are focused on government, commercial and
industrial entities and give the company a footprint
across the twin-island nation, Kalliecharan said.
