Security Considerations in Brussels

The boutiques on Boulevard de Waterloo and Avenue Louise serve local and expatriate customers, including diplomats, EU officials and business visitors from across Europe. Officers must be courteous and discreet and work in French and English, with knowledge of Dutch useful given the bilingual status of Brussels. Regular customers expect to see familiar faces at the door.

European Council summits, official visits and large demonstrations regularly lead to road closures and a police presence across the city. In December, the Christmas market and winter lights draw crowds into the city center. A security program must follow the institutional calendar, brief officers on closures in advance and keep relief officers close to every post.

How Coverage Works in Brussels

McCray designs the program, and officers follow McCray Post Orders.

In Belgium, private security is governed by the Law of 2 October 2017 regulating private and particular security (loi du 2 octobre 2017 réglementant la sécurité privée et particulière), and companies are authorized by the Federal Public Service Interior (SPF Intérieur). Source
