Security Considerations in Madrid

The Barrio de Salamanca serves an affluent local clientele and a large and growing number of Latin American visitors and residents, as well as travelers from the Gulf and Asia. Boutiques need courteous, discreet officers who are used to appointment-based service and fluent in Spanish, and most luxury posts also require English.

Madrid keeps late hours, with retail and restaurant activity that continues well past the usual closing time. The heat of July and August affects exterior posts, while Christmas, the winter sales and Madrid Fashion Week create peaks in foot traffic. A program should organize shifts around local shopping habits and provide relief officers for the longest days.

Concessions in El Corte Inglés operate within the department store’s own security system, and officers must follow its procedures. Corporate clients on the Castellana and in AZCA expect a high standard at reception and in access control. A security program should apply the same Post Orders and the same reporting system at all retail and office sites in the city.
