Security Considerations in Camden
Newer office towers on the Camden Waterfront house regional and national headquarters, and these buildings call for lobby coverage, visitor management and controlled access to parking structures. The downtown hospital and university campuses add round-the-clock pedestrian traffic. Many commuters arrive by PATCO, the River LINE and the Ben Franklin Bridge, so arrival and departure periods shape how lobby posts are staffed.
Concert season at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion runs from late spring into early fall and brings large crowds and heavy traffic to the waterfront on show nights. Neighborhood stores along Federal Street and Broadway serve a largely Spanish-speaking customer base, so bilingual officers are useful at retail posts. Warehouses near the port and the Route 30 and I-676 corridors often need overnight gate and perimeter coverage.

Common Questions
Can lobby coverage be set around office hours at waterfront buildings?
Post schedules are built around each building’s hours, tenant access rules and commuter arrival times. Coverage can run during business hours only or around the clock, depending on the building’s requirements.
How is security guard coverage priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
