Security Considerations in St. Moritz

High season in St. Moritz falls over Christmas, New Year and in February, when events such as White Turf on the frozen lake and the Snow Polo World Cup attract very prominent guests. Boutiques need officers who present a discreet, well-groomed appearance and can work alongside clients’ own close protection teams. German, Italian and English are equally useful in the Engadine.

The resort lies at high altitude and is reached by mountain pass roads or by train, so snow and road conditions can delay officers and deliveries. Staff accommodation is scarce and expensive during the season. A security program should secure accommodation and relief officers early, apply the cantonal rules of Graubünden and set clear procedures for securing stores between seasons.

How Coverage Works in St. Moritz

McCray designs the program and writes the Post Orders that officers follow.

Private security services in Switzerland are regulated at cantonal level, so permit requirements differ between Zurich, Geneva, Ticino and other cantons. Zurich, for example, requires an operating permit for security companies. Source
