Retail and Business Districts in Stavanger

Assignments in the Stavanger region often involve these areas:

• Kirkegata
• Arkaden
• Amfi Madla
• Kvadrat
• Forus
• Hinna Park

Security Considerations in Stavanger

Many office buildings at Forus and in Hinna Park house oil, gas and renewable energy companies, with requirements for access control, visitor registration and supplier management. International employees and guests are common, and officers should be able to work in both Norwegian and English. Large business areas with parking garages and multiple entrances require clear procedures for rounds, locking and key management outside working hours.

The city center has many cruise calls in the summer half of the year, and Old Stavanger (Gamle Stavanger) and Vågen see heavy foot traffic. Every other year, the ONS energy conference brings a large international audience in August, with many hotel guests, dinners and client meetings in the region. Such periods create a need for extra staffing at events, hotel lobbies and stores in the city center, and planning should start early because many businesses book security coverage at the same time.

Kvadrat is in Sandnes, and Forus extends across the municipal boundaries between Stavanger, Sandnes and Sola. A program with several locations in the region should therefore account for driving time between sites and rush-hour traffic on the E39. Wind and rain from the sea affect exterior posts, parking and goods receiving, and the Post Orders should describe clothing, sheltered positioning and procedures for bad weather.

How Coverage Works in Stavanger

McCray designs the program, writes the Post Orders, sets presentation and service standards, supervises performance and reports to the client. Officers hold the approvals required in Norway.

The scope of service, approvals and insurance for each site are confirmed before a proposal is sent. Information on approvals is available on the Norway page.

Common Questions

Can One Program Cover Stavanger, Sandnes and Forus?

A program can cover locations in several municipalities in the region, for example stores in central Stavanger and offices at Forus. Post Orders are written for each individual site, while reporting is consolidated within the program.

How Is Security Officer Coverage Priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray prepares a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
