Managed security services in Grenada

Security considerations in Grenada

A program in Grenada often combines retail posts in St. George’s and at the shopping centres in Grand Anse, resort and villa posts along the south coast, and marina posts at Port Louis and the southern bays. Carriacou and Petite Martinique are reached by ferry or short flight, so coverage there is planned separately. English is the working language.

The tourist and cruise season runs from about November to April, and Spicemas, the national carnival in August, changes traffic and staffing needs across St. George’s. The hurricane season from June to November requires storm preparation plans, and many yachts shelter in the southern bays during these months. Coverage plans should include relief officers, seasonal reinforcement and coordination with resort and marina management.
