Security Considerations in Munich

Munich’s luxury streets serve a wealthy local clientele as well as visitors from the Gulf region, Asia and the rest of Europe, with a pronounced peak in summer when guests from the Middle East arrive. Boutiques need officers who are courteous and discreet and confident in dealing with demanding customers. Working languages are German and English, and at some posts Arabic is a real advantage.

Oktoberfest in late September and early October brings several million visitors to the city, and from late November the Christmas markets fill the Altstadt. Trade fairs at Messe München bring business travelers all year round. A security program should plan staffing levels for each of these periods and brief officers on changed visitor flows and access around Marienplatz.

Concession spaces in the Oberpollinger and other department stores are integrated into each store’s own system, so officers must follow the store’s procedures exactly. Corporate clients expect reception and access control of a high standard. Snow and cold affect exterior posts in winter, and clients with several sites in Bavaria need supervision that covers greater distances while still ensuring a uniform program standard.
