How licensing differs across the region
There is no common European security license. Each country requires the security company to hold a license or permit and requires individual officers to meet separate training, vetting or certification rules set under national law. The authority may be the police, the interior ministry or another designated body depending on the country. McCray confirms that each partner and each officer is licensed for the country where the post is located. Licensing requirements for each country are set out on its country page.
One standard across nine countries
A program covering stores in Warsaw, shared service centers in Prague and a distribution site in Romania runs on the same Post Orders format, the same incident reporting and the same performance measures. McCray sets screening and training standards for every partner, audits posts in the field and reports to the client directly. Officers clock in with GPS confirmation.
Most of the region falls under European Union data protection rules, which affect how camera footage and visitor records are handled. McCray builds those requirements into Post Orders where they apply.
Scheduling and languages
Each country has its own public holidays and trading rules, including restrictions on Sunday retail in some markets. December is the peak retail period across the region. Post Orders are written in the local language, and the Operations Desk answers 24/7/365 in English or Spanish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does one license cover security work across the European Union?
No. Private security is licensed country by country, so each partner and officer must meet the rules of the country where the post sits.
How does McCray handle camera footage in EU countries?
Post Orders include the handling rules that apply under European Union data protection law in each location.
Can McCray cover warehouses as well as retail stores?
Yes. Programs in the region often combine retail, office and warehouse posts under the same reporting and supervision structure.
