Security Considerations in Recife

Retail in Recife is divided between large shopping centers in Boa Viagem and the Zona Norte and the traditional street retail of the Santo Antônio and Boa Vista neighborhoods. High-end stores call for officers attentive to customer service and movement on the sales floor, while the central areas require careful oversight of opening, closing and the transport of merchandise. Proximity to the sea also requires attention to equipment maintenance.

Porto Digital, in the Bairro do Recife, brings together technology companies and offices housed in historic buildings, with multiple entrances, frequent visitors and corporate events. The residential and commercial towers of Boa Viagem and the Zona Norte, in turn, depend on well-organized front desks, control of service contractors and access logs. The rainy season, from April to July, affects traffic and shift relief.

Carnival in Recife and Olinda, with the Galo da Madrugada, changes how the city operates for several days, with road closures and large crowds. São João in June and the summer high season also increase activity at hotels and restaurants. For receptions and events with foreign guests, officers who communicate in English or Spanish are recommended.
