Security Considerations in Wilmington

Christiana Mall sits at the junction of Interstate 95 and Route 1 and serves a tri-state customer base attracted by tax-free shopping. Stores there need officers who stay attentive during peak weekends and holidays, work closely with mall security, and keep consistent procedures at stockroom doors, fitting rooms and loading areas throughout long shopping days.

Downtown Wilmington’s banks, law firms and corporate offices require professional lobby officers, access control and visitor management. Many of these tenants handle confidential financial and legal records, so officers must follow procedures precisely, maintain accurate logs, and treat visitors, couriers and employees with the same courtesy and care every day.

Southern Delaware’s beach towns are highly seasonal. Outlet and boardwalk retailers in Rehoboth Beach see crowded summer weekends and holiday periods that call for extra staffing, followed by much quieter months. Flexible scheduling matters, as does planning for summer traffic on Route 1 and the coastal storms that occasionally reach the Delaware shore.

Screening, Training and Supervision

Officers complete a five-stage screening process and tier-based training before assignment, including de-escalation and, for retail posts, organized retail crime recognition. Supervisors make unannounced site visits, and the MGP Operations Desk answers 24/7/365. Incidents are documented on scene, time-stamped and GPS-verified.

Delaware Licensing

In Delaware, McCray Global Protection operates under the MGP Hybrid Operating Model. Officers are supplied by vetted local partners who hold the licenses required by the state and local jurisdiction, and MGP manages the program: screening and training standards, supervision, Post Orders, reporting and account management.

Common Questions

Are armed officers available in Wilmington?

Armed posts are available where the jurisdiction permits. They are staffed by retired law enforcement officers who hold the required armed licensing, and are assigned after a review of the site’s risk, lease and insurance requirements. For luxury boutiques, MGP generally recommends unarmed officers focused on deterrence and client service.

How is security guard coverage priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. MGP provides a written rate schedule after reviewing your needs. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
