Security Considerations in Nagoya

In the Meieki district, high-rise buildings and underground shopping streets are intricately connected, and store and office entrances are spread across several levels above and below ground. In the Sakae district, street-front stores and department stores line the main avenues, and foot traffic continues at night and on weekends. Clients operating stores in both districts need positioning and patrol procedures set for each site, taking into account each building’s management rules and the different operating hours of the underground shopping streets.

Nagoya is home to many manufacturers, led by the automotive industry, and head offices and sales offices frequently receive business partners and visitors from overseas. Identity checks at reception, access control for executive floors and security for business meetings are the main duties. When large exhibitions are held at venues such as Port Messe Nagoya, plans must also account for crowded hotels and public transport across the city.

Nagoya summers are hot, and standing posts outdoors or near entrances require sufficient break and relief times. When a typhoon approaches, it is important to decide in advance how relief officers will travel and how communication will work, in case rail services are suspended.

Common Questions

Can Several Stores in Meieki and Sakae Be Combined Into One Security Program?

Several sites can be designed as one program with common standards and a common reporting format. The Post Orders for each store are written individually to fit the building’s management rules and operating hours.

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.
