Security Considerations in Phnom Penh
Shopping malls in Phnom Penh stay open until late at night and draw many families on weekends, with many entrances and underground motorbike parking. Payments are made in both US dollars and riel. International and luxury brand stores need officers who greet customers courteously, watch fitting rooms and stockrooms, and coordinate with the mall’s security team during deliveries.
The rainy season from May to October brings heavy afternoon rain that can flood roads and delay officer shift changes. Traffic congestion along Preah Norodom Boulevard and Preah Monivong Boulevard also requires clearly planned shift times. During Khmer New Year and Pchum Ben, many staff travel to their home provinces, so staffing plans must be prepared in advance.
The Water Festival boat races, the floating lantern ceremony and the Moon Salutation along the Sisowath riverfront draw very large crowds, and some roads are closed. Office buildings with foreign company tenants need careful visitor registration. Officers must speak Khmer and working English, and Mandarin Chinese is useful at sites that receive business visitors from China.

Common Questions
Can Officers Communicate in English or Chinese in Addition to Khmer?
Khmer is the main working language of officers in Phnom Penh. English requirements for customer-facing posts and Mandarin Chinese requirements for sites that receive business visitors from China are set in the Post Orders. Staff availability for these requirements is reviewed during the site assessment.
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.
