Managed security services in Dominica

Security considerations in Dominica

Coverage in Dominica usually combines retail and office posts in Roseau, posts near the Roseau and Cabrits cruise berths, and resort and lodge posts in the interior and along the coast. Travel times between sites are long on mountain roads, so supervision and relief cover are planned by area. English is the working language, and Kwéyòl is widely spoken. The cruise season runs from about October to April, Carnival takes place before Lent and the World Creole Music Festival is held in October, and the hurricane season from June to November requires storm preparation and clear procedures for securing and reopening sites.
