Managed security services in Solomon Islands

Security considerations in Solomon Islands

Most coverage in Solomon Islands is in Honiara: offices, retail and warehouses along Mendana Avenue and in Ranadi, hotels on the waterfront, and access control for events and visiting delegations. Sites on other islands are reached by domestic flights or ships, so supervision visits and relief officers have to be planned in advance. English is the official language, and Solomon Islands Pijin is the everyday language of officers and customers. The cyclone season from November to April calls for storm procedures at every site, and a managed program keeps the same Post Orders and reporting format across all of them.
