Security Considerations in Bend
Bend retail splits between walkable downtown storefronts and the Old Mill District on one side and big box and grocery anchored centers along Highway 97 and Third Street on the other. Downtown and Old Mill shops see heavy foot traffic on summer evenings and on concert nights at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, while the north side centers carry large parking fields and long store hours. Officers need to move between close storefront work and wide parking lot patrols.
Visitor volume follows two seasons: summer river, trail and festival traffic, and winter ski traffic headed to Mt. Bachelor along Century Drive. Snow and ice slow the drive to outlying sites in winter, and Post Orders should account for early darkness, plowed parking areas and slippery entrances. Construction remains steady on the east and north sides of the city, where sites often need overnight gate and perimeter coverage.

Can coverage be adjusted for Bend’s summer and ski seasons?
Schedules can be built with added hours or posts during peak visitor months and reduced during slower periods. Seasonal changes are set out in the Post Orders and the rate schedule before they take effect.
How is security guard coverage priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
