Gstaad is a small, car-free village in the Bernese Oberland, with a short row of luxury boutiques, jewelers and galleries along its pedestrian Promenade. The village draws a very private international clientele, many of whom own a chalet in the Saanenland.

Security Considerations in Gstaad
Clients in Gstaad value privacy above almost everything, and boutiques expect officers who keep a low profile, recognize regular customers and handle arrivals discreetly. Peak periods fall over Christmas and New Year and in summer, when the Swiss Open tennis tournament, the Menuhin Festival and the polo draw visitors. German, French and English are equally useful.
The Promenade is compact and car-free, so officers work closely with neighboring stores and with hotel security. Snow and mountain roads make travel difficult in winter, and accommodation for seasonal staff is limited. A security program in Gstaad should plan accommodation and transport early, comply with the cantonal rules of the Canton of Bern and use the same reports and Post Orders as other Swiss sites.
How Coverage Works in Gstaad
McCray designs the program and writes the Post Orders that officers follow.
Private security services in Switzerland are regulated at cantonal level, so permit requirements differ between Zurich, Geneva, Ticino and other cantons. Zurich, for example, requires an operating permit for security companies. Source
