Security Considerations in Mar del Plata
The summer season sharply increases the number of visitors on the coast and downtown, with stores extending their hours into the night and serving customers continuously. On Calle Güemes and the San Martín pedestrian street, security guards must manage simultaneous entries, monitor the sales floor and fitting rooms and stay friendly with tourists from across the country. Outside the season, coverage can be adjusted to a steadier pace of business.
The coastal climate affects operations: wind, humidity and winter storms affect entrances, store windows and exterior equipment, so Post Orders must include inspection rounds and procedures for power outages. The city also hosts conferences, festivals and sporting events that require access control and coordination with the organizers, and in some cases security guards who can communicate in English with foreign visitors.

Common Questions
Does It Make Sense to Hire Coverage Only for the Summer Season in Mar del Plata?
It depends on each store. Some businesses keep a base staffing level all year and add posts between December and March, while others need coverage only in high season. The proposal is prepared after reviewing the traffic and hours of each site.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, shifts 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.
