Managed security services in St Vincent and the Grenadines
Business in St Vincent and the Grenadines is centred in Kingstown, where shops, banks and offices line Bay Street and Halifax Street near the cruise terminal, with retail and offices extending to Arnos Vale and Calliaqua. In the Grenadines, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union Island hold resorts, villas and yacht anchorages.
Security considerations in St Vincent and the Grenadines
Client sites are typically retail stores and bank and office receptions in Kingstown, commercial properties in Arnos Vale, hotels on the south coast and resorts and villas in the Grenadines. A managed program applies the same Post Orders, supervision and reporting format on every island, with officers provided by vetted local security companies. English is the working language.
International flights arrive at Argyle International Airport, and the Grenadines are reached by ferry or small aircraft, so each island needs its own staffing, supervision and relief plan. Visitor numbers rise in the winter sailing and cruise season, at the Bequia Easter Regatta and during Vincy Mas in June and July. Coverage plans should include hurricane season procedures from June to November, as Hurricane Beryl showed in the southern Grenadines in July 2024.
