Security Considerations in Rhodes
The Medieval Town of Rhodes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with cobbled stone streets, gates and limited vehicle access. Jewelry, leather goods and clothing stores receive heavy traffic when cruise ships dock in the port, often for just a few hours. Officers need to watch the space during crowded periods, help with serving groups and follow the rules for deliveries and the movement of goods inside the walls.
The tourist season in Rhodes starts in spring and lasts until late autumn, with many charter flights from Europe. The drive from the town to Lindos takes time that must be factored into shift changes and the supervision of multiple locations. English is essential, while German, Scandinavian languages or Italian help at hotel and store reception posts.
The large hotels on the northwest coast host conferences, weddings and corporate travel, which require access control and coordination with hotel staff. High temperatures and dry summer winds make knowledge of evacuation procedures and of communication with the relevant authorities at each site essential. Post Orders for exterior posts also provide for shade, water and regular breaks.

Common Questions
How Is Security Organized for Stores Inside the Medieval Town?
Post Orders for stores inside the walls take into account vehicle access hours, delivery points and the hours with the most visitor traffic. The details of each post, such as hours, dress and opening and closing procedures, are agreed with the client during the assessment.
