Security Services on Bonaire

On Bonaire, stores, restaurants, bars and offices are concentrated in Kralendijk, around Kaya Grandi and the harbor boulevard, where cruise ships also dock. Tourism centers mainly on diving and water sports, with resorts and apartment complexes along the west coast, in Hato and Belnem and at Lac Bay.

Security Considerations on Bonaire

A program on Bonaire usually covers stores and offices in central Kralendijk, coastal resorts and vacation complexes, and points of entry such as the cruise pier and Flamingo International Airport. The high season runs from December to April and coincides with the cruise season, so crowds in Kralendijk increase sharply on cruise call days. Bonaire lies outside the usual hurricane track, but a storm procedure remains part of the plan. Papiamentu is the language of daily life and Dutch the language of government, and English and Spanish are needed in contact with visitors. The same Post Orders, the same supervision and the same reporting format apply at every site.
