Managed security services in Mauritius

Security considerations in Mauritius

A program in Mauritius usually covers offices in Port Louis and Ebène, retail units in managed malls, hotels and resorts, and residences in gated developments such as those around Tamarin and Black River. Malls and resort developments run their own access control, so officers need post orders that set out how they work with site security. English is the official language of government, French is widely used in business and the media, and Mauritian Creole is spoken by almost everyone.

The cyclone season runs from November to April, and cyclone warnings can close businesses and limit travel at short notice, so post orders should include cyclone procedures. Tourism is busiest during the European winter and the year-end holidays. Coverage plans should include relief officers, seasonal reinforcement for resort and coastal retail sites, and supervisors able to cover both Port Louis and the coastal areas.

No. MGP does not hold a private security licence in Mauritius. Officers are employed by vetted Mauritian security companies that hold the required licences, and MGP manages the program, its standards and its reporting.

What languages do the officers speak?

Officers speak Mauritian Creole and French, and officers on client-facing posts also speak English. The language requirement for each post is set out in the post orders for that site.
