Security Considerations in Fayetteville
Fayetteville sits beside Fort Bragg, one of the largest military installations in the country, and the local economy follows the base calendar. Deployments, returns, training cycles and paydays shift traffic at the Skibo Road stores and restaurants from week to week. Large open parking fields at the regional centers call for visible patrol coverage, especially after dark and during the holiday season, when extended store hours stretch staffing across longer shifts.
Downtown sees steady event traffic, from Segra Stadium baseball nights to the Dogwood Festival in spring and concerts at the Crown Complex. Event posts need officers comfortable with bag checks, line management and coordination with venue staff. Summer heat and humidity, along with late season tropical storms that reach inland, shape how exterior posts are scheduled, rotated and supplied with shade, water and relief breaks.

Common Questions
Can coverage be adjusted around Fort Bragg activity and holiday shopping peaks?
Yes. Schedules can be built with a standing base of posts and added shifts for periods such as the holiday season or large downtown events. Any changes to hours or post count are confirmed in writing and reflected in the site’s Post Orders.
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.
