Security Guard Services in the Faroe Islands

Security Considerations in the Faroe Islands

Client sites in the Faroe Islands are usually stores in central Tórshavn, stores in shopping centers, office reception desks and harbor areas. A security program applies the same Post Orders, the same supervision and the same reporting format at every site. The working language is Faroese, and Danish and English are used at reception desks and in stores that serve travelers.

Tourism peaks in summer, when cruise ships call at Tórshavn and Klaksvík, and during Ólavsøka in July there are large crowds in Tórshavn. Weather can delay travel between the islands and to and from Vágar Airport. Coverage plans should include relief officers, reinforcement in summer and during Ólavsøka, and clear procedures for when weather prevents travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Languages Do the Officers Speak?

Officers work in Faroese. Where Danish or English is required, for example in stores, hotels and reception areas, officers who speak these languages are assigned, and the requirement is written into the Post Orders.
