Security Considerations in Oslo
Nedre Slottsgate is a compact luxury street with stores close together, serving an affluent local clientele and a growing number of summer tourists and cruise passengers. Officers need to maintain a professional and discreet presence at the door and work closely with neighboring stores. Norwegian and English are the working languages, and both are widely spoken.
Winter darkness, snow and ice affect entrances, exterior posts and officer travel for several months of the year. Constitution Day on 17 May and the Christmas season draw large crowds to the city center. A security program should plan for the weather, provide proper equipment and regular checks on officer welfare, and keep standards in line with locations in Stockholm and Copenhagen.
