Licensing across island nations and territories
Private security rules in the Pacific vary widely. Some countries license security companies under a dedicated national law, while smaller states rely on general business licensing and police oversight. The French territories follow frameworks connected to French administration. In several markets the company and the individual officer are licensed separately.
McCray confirms the licensing position for each location during the assessment and works only with partners that hold the required permits. Each country page sets out the local rules in more detail.
Running one program across a wide region
Pacific locations are separated by long distances and several time zones, and some sit on opposite sides of the International Date Line. McCray uses the same Post Orders format, incident reporting and performance measures at every site, so a resort in Fiji and an office in Port Moresby are reported to the client the same way. Officers clock in by GPS, and the Operations Desk answers 24/7/365 in English or Spanish.
Scheduling around seasons and events
The cyclone season, which generally runs from November to April, affects travel, staffing and site access across much of the region. Tourism peaks and regional sporting and cultural events also change demand. McCray plans staffing levels and contingency coverage around these periods with each local partner.
- Storm preparation and post-storm coverage plans
- Added coverage for peak resort seasons
- Event staffing scheduled well in advance of arrival dates

How are languages handled in French-speaking territories?
Post Orders and site briefings are prepared in the language officers work in. Client reporting follows the same McCray format everywhere.
