Managed security services in St Kitts and Nevis
Retail and business activity in St Kitts and Nevis is centred in Basseterre, where duty free shops at Port Zante serve cruise passengers and offices and banks line the streets around The Circus and Independence Square. Frigate Bay, Christophe Harbour on the southeast peninsula and Charlestown on Nevis hold the main hotels, residences and marina developments.
Security considerations in St Kitts and Nevis
Client sites are typically retail stores and jewellers near Port Zante, bank and office receptions in Basseterre, hotels and residential developments in Frigate Bay and Christophe Harbour, and properties on Nevis. A managed program applies the same Post Orders, supervision and reporting format across both islands, with officers provided by vetted local security companies. English is the working language.
Cruise calls are heaviest from late autumn to spring, and visitor numbers also rise for the St Kitts Music Festival in June, Sugar Mas in December and January, and Culturama on Nevis in summer. Sites on Nevis are reached by ferry or a short flight, so supervision and relief officers should be planned for each island. Coverage plans should also include hurricane season procedures from June to November.
