Security Considerations in Lisbon
Avenida da Liberdade has wide sidewalks and side lanes, with boutiques on both sides along more than a kilometer. Visitors from Brazil, the United States and the rest of Europe make up an important share of the clientele. Officers must manage entrances courteously, speak Portuguese and English, and stay in contact with neighboring stores along the avenue.
Tourism peaks between spring and autumn, with cruise ship calls, the Santos Populares festivities in June and Web Summit in November drawing crowds. Steep streets and trams constrain movement in Chiado and the historic neighborhoods. A security program should size the number of officers to these periods and keep relief officers near the Avenida.
