Security Considerations in Dortmund
The pedestrian zone between Westenhellweg and Ostenhellweg is a long, continuous shopping street with chain stores, department stores and specialty shops. Many stores have wide entrances and heavy foot traffic, especially on Saturdays and during Advent. The need is for officers who are visible and approachable, act in coordination with sales staff and keep checkout areas, fitting rooms and stockroom doors in view. At the Indupark and other retail parks, large parking areas and fixed delivery times add to this.
Home matches at Signal Iduna Park and events at the Westfalenhallen regularly bring very large numbers of visitors into the city, with crowded trains and heavy traffic on the B1. For stores in the city center and offices in the south of the city, it is worth aligning shift changes and travel routes with these dates. The Christmas market around Hansaplatz and Alter Markt extends the busy period until shortly before Christmas.

Common Questions
How Are Match Days and Major Events Taken Into Account in Staffing?
Match and event dates are recorded when the program is planned, so that shift times, reliefs and travel routes can be adjusted to them. The Post Orders set out which additional duties apply on these days, for example at the entrance or in the underground garage. Additional hours are billed at the rates in the written proposal.
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 requirements of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
