Security Considerations in Guadalajara
Guadalajara combines large shopping centers in Zapopan with street-level retail in neighborhoods such as Americana and Lafayette. Boutiques inside Andares and Midtown operate under the rules of each center’s management, which requires coordination of supplier access, loading hours and closing protocols. At street-level stores, the officer handles the entrance directly, along with interaction with pedestrians and neighbors.
The city is home to regional offices, technology companies, electronics manufacturing and financial services. In office towers, the work centers on reception, visitor logging and parking control. The distances between Zapopan, Tlaquepaque and downtown, together with traffic on Avenida López Mateos and the Periférico, affect the planning of relief and supervision rounds.
The events calendar is extensive: the International Book Fair (Feria Internacional del Libro) at Expo Guadalajara in late November, concerts, soccer matches and industrial trade shows. The rainy season, from June to September, brings afternoon storms that affect entrances, parking areas and travel times, so it should be addressed in the Post Orders for each site.

Common Questions
Can Sites in Zapopan and in Central Guadalajara Be Included in the Same Program?
Yes. A program can cover locations in different municipalities of the metropolitan area, each with its own Post Orders. Staffing and supervision are organized by site, taking into account hours, access points and the distances between locations.
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.
