Security Considerations in Turin

Central Turin is laid out on a regular grid of arcaded streets, with long covered frontages and store entrances set back from the street. Boutiques serve a solid local clientele as well as visitors, and need officers who are courteous, discreet and know the regular customers. Italian is essential at most posts, while English is useful during events and trade fairs.

Major exhibitions at the Lingotto, international sporting events and the Salone del Libro bring visitors to the city in concentrated periods. Corporate clients in banking and industry require reception and access control officers who meet the standard of their buildings. A security program should apply the same reporting and Post Orders across stores and offices, and plan for winter fog and cold at outdoor posts.

How Coverage Works in Turin

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

In Italy, private security firms (istituti di vigilanza privata) operate under a license issued by the competent Prefecture (Prefettura) under the Testo Unico delle Leggi di Pubblica Sicurezza (Consolidated Law on Public Security, TULPS), and sworn private guards (guardie particolari giurate) must be approved by the Prefect.
