Licensing in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Private security in the region is regulated at the national level, and armed services are tightly controlled. Security companies need authorization from the designated authority, and individual guards must meet training and background requirements that differ by country. McCray works only with partners holding current national licenses and verifies officer eligibility before each assignment. Licensing requirements for each country are set out on its country page.
Running consistent programs across the region
Russian remains widely used for business across much of Central Asia, while each country also has its own national language. McCray writes Post Orders in the language officers use on post and keeps the same format, supervision structure, incident reporting and performance measures in every country. Clients with an office in Almaty and a project site in Georgia receive reports in the same format. The Operations Desk answers 24/7/365 in English or Spanish.
Planning for distance and the calendar
Project and industrial sites are often far from capital cities, so McCray plans relief schedules, supervision visits and reporting times before coverage starts. The region spans several time zones, and Nowruz in March is a major public holiday in many of these countries.
- Corporate offices in capital cities
- Industrial, energy and mining project sites
- Executive protection support for visiting leadership
- Risk assessment before a new location opens
