Security Considerations in Amman

Shopping centers in west Amman bring international brand stores, cinemas and restaurants under one roof, and their opening hours run late into the night, especially on the Friday and Saturday weekend. This requires officers who deal tactfully with customers, know mall management procedures and the loading and unloading entrances, and communicate in Arabic and English with visitors and staff. A store inside a shopping center also needs clear coordination with mall security on the division of responsibilities at entrances and in corridors.

The rhythm of the city changes during Ramadan, as peak shopping shifts to after iftar and continues until suhoor, and traffic rises again just before Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Summer brings returning expatriates and visitors from the Gulf states, increasing demand at hotels, restaurants and fashion stores. In winter, rain and occasional snowfall can affect high and steep roads, so backup plans are needed for shift changes and for officers to reach their sites.

In Abdali and Shmeisani, banks, regional offices, residential towers and hotels stand side by side, and these buildings rely on card access systems, visitor logs and underground parking. This calls for ongoing coordination between the reception desk and building management, and clear instructions for receiving delegations, accepting parcels and admitting contractors. Traffic congestion on Zahran Street and Airport Road at peak hours also makes advance planning of shift change times an essential part of site management.

Common Questions

How Is Coverage Organized During Ramadan and the Eid Holidays?

Schedules are reviewed with the client before the season begins, because store and shopping center hours change during Ramadan and often extend past midnight. Post Orders are updated to reflect the new hours and the crowding points expected before Eid. Holiday rates apply according to the agreed written rate schedule.

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 higher rate.
