Security Considerations in Stockholm

Birger Jarlsgatan and Biblioteksgatan have an affluent local clientele and a growing number of international visitors, especially in summer. Stores need officers who suit the understated Swedish service style while staying alert to the risk of grab-and-run shoplifting of high-value goods. Swedish and English are the working languages, and nearly all customers speak English.

Winter brings long hours of darkness, snow and ice, which affect exterior posts, entrances and officers’ travel. The Christmas shopping season, the summer tourist season and Nobel Week in December each change customer flow. A security program should plan winter routines, provide the right equipment and keep reporting consistent with other Nordic locations.
