Key Factors That Can Feed Perceptions About Company Relationships with Public Security

• The physical location of public security barracks/stations (e.g. whether these are close to a project site).
• Close cooperation, memoranda of understanding, security agreements and/or regular interaction with public security forces. Agreements or close relationships between the company and public security may create misunderstandings regarding the mandate of public security.
• Logistical, financial and/or in-kind support provided by the company to public security forces.
