Security Guard Services in Strasbourg

The retail heart of Strasbourg is on the Grande Île, where department stores and designer boutiques share narrow streets with the cathedral and the city’s historic squares. As the seat of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, Strasbourg also has a large institutional and diplomatic presence.

Security Considerations in Strasbourg

The Strasbourg Christmas market runs from late November to late December and draws very large crowds into the same streets where the city’s best stores are concentrated. Pedestrian checks and bag searches at entry points change the way customers reach the boutiques. Concessions and boutiques need officers who can handle heavy foot traffic, keep entrances clear and apply department store procedures throughout the season.

Plenary sessions of the European Parliament bring delegations, staff and visitors to the city several times a year, and some weeks come with a heavier police presence. Because Strasbourg sits on the German border, officers who speak French and German, with good English, are a real asset. Supervision must take these calendar changes into account and inform boutiques of planned road closures.

How Coverage Works in Strasbourg

In France, private security is regulated by the National Council for Private Security Activities (Conseil national des activités privées de sécurité, CNAPS), which issues authorizations to security companies and the officers they employ. Source
