Southeast Asia

Licensing across Southeast Asia

Each country in the region licenses private security at the national level, usually through the police or the interior ministry. Company licenses and officer licenses are typically separate, and countries such as Singapore require officers to complete set training modules before they can be deployed. Rules on armed work are strict and vary by country.

McCray works only with partners that hold the required company and officer licenses for each post. Licensing requirements for each country are set out on its country page.

One standard for regional portfolios

Many clients manage the region from a headquarters in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, with stores and offices in several countries. McCray applies the same Post Orders format, supervision, incident reporting and performance measures in every market, so results can be compared site by site. Officers clock in by GPS, and the Operations Desk answers 24/7/365 in English or Spanish.

Holidays and peak periods

Lunar New Year, Ramadan and Hari Raya, Songkran in Thailand and Tết in Vietnam all change store hours and foot traffic. Year-end shopping and large regional events add further demand. McCray plans coverage around these dates with each partner well in advance.

  • Extended coverage for holiday trading hours
  • Added staffing for store openings and launches
  • Event security planned with venue requirements in mind
