Security Guard Services in the Republic of the Congo
Brazzaville, the political capital, concentrates government agencies, banks and company headquarters downtown, while retail is growing in Poto-Poto, Moungali and around the Marché Total in Bacongo. Pointe-Noire, the economic capital, brings together the autonomous port, oil industry bases and the main stores downtown and on the Côte Sauvage.
Security Considerations in the Republic of the Congo
A program in the Republic of the Congo most often covers offices and residences in Brazzaville, and offices, warehouses and logistics bases in Pointe-Noire. The program applies the same Post Orders, the same supervision and the same reporting format at every site. French is the working language; Lingala is widely spoken in Brazzaville and Kituba in Pointe-Noire, and English is required by international oil companies.
The two cities are about 500 kilometers apart, which requires supervision organized in each of them. The rainy season runs from October to May, and port and oil sites require strict control of access, vehicles and goods. Coverage plans should include relief officers, procedures for heavy rain and coordination with building and port area security.
