Security Considerations in Trondheim

Winter in Trondheim brings short days, snow and ice, which places demands on exterior rounds, lighting at entrances and safe walkways around goods receiving areas. Retail in the city center is concentrated in Midtbyen, with a pedestrian street, shopping centers and restaurants that keep different opening hours. Officers should know the center’s opening and closing procedures and cooperate with neighbors on shared entrances and parking facilities.

Trondheim has a large student population, and the city is shaped by student events such as UKA, held in the autumn every other year. The St. Olav Festival (Olavsfestdagene) around Nidaros Cathedral in late July draws pilgrims and tourists, and Trondheim Spektrum hosts concerts, trade fairs and sports events throughout the year. At such events, assignments involve access control, guest lists and crowd management, and officers should be able to communicate in Norwegian and English.

The research and technology clusters at Gløshaugen, Sluppen and Brattøra have office buildings with laboratories, meeting rooms and visitors from Norway and abroad. Such buildings often need reception staffing, access card control and procedures for visits outside working hours. For shift changes between the city center, Lade and Tiller, the schedule should account for travel time, especially in the winter months.

Common Questions

How Are Winter Conditions Handled in the Post Orders?

The Post Orders for each site can describe procedures for exterior rounds, lighting, clothing and alerts for slippery or snow-covered walkways. Responsibility for snow clearing and gritting normally lies with the property owner or the center, and the officer’s role is to observe and report. Procedures are agreed with the client before start-up.

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.
