Public

All public agencies, such as municipalities, city councils, national government authorities and international bodies need security and this may vary from country to country as well as within a country. Some countries have county administrative boards, others have town councils or provincial governments.

The Municipality of Sintra, Portugal

The Municipality of Sintra is situated in one of the most beautiful and privileged places in Portugal and the world. In addition, the Town of Sintra is considered a World Heritage by UNESCO. The potential of the region is not restricted to the charm of its mountain and the artistic values of the ‘Vila Velha’ (the old town) but rather include valuable archaeological relics, majestic manor estates, churches and characteristic agglomerations of rustic constructions. The partnership with Securitas has lasted four years for several of the Municipality’s premises. Securitas provides services of Specialized Guarding, Mobile Guarding, Picket Intervention, Alarms (connection) and Technical Maintenance of for the installed equipment.

Public safety in Georgetown

Residents of Georgetown, the historic, tree-lined section of Washington, D.C., in the USA, overlooking the Potomac River, share a common interest—to live in a safe, secure and peaceful environment. But that goal can be elusive in the diverse, densely populated area known for its university students, active nightlife and crime incidents that often flow from those demographics. The 80-block Georgetown community, encompassing about 6,000 residences, attracts an average of 10,000 tourists and visitors to its entertainment district on a typical weekend night.

Public-private security partnership in Austria

A security partnership between the City of Mödling, Securitas and two technology partners has increased the feeling of safety for the citizens and shops and decreased the pressure on the police. Mobile patrols 24/7, parking surveillance and speed controls are all part of the solution. An added value for the city is that it is partially self-financed.
