Executive protection in Mandalay is a programme calibrated to a critical risk environment, not a single officer. It is the discipline a company applies to protect a travelling executive against post-coup civil war, arbitrary-detention risk, and infrastructure disruption: checkpoint management, an operations controller, evacuation readiness, and secure transport under the post-coup Myanmar Police Force framework, integrated with the itinerary. This page is for security managers designing protection where operator currency matters most.
Private security company licensing in Myanmar is administered by the Myanmar Police Force under military control following the February 2021 coup. The regulatory environment is significantly disrupted and any security engagement in Myanmar requires extensive pre-deployment legal assessment.

Operational detail for Mandalay
Threat and Risk Assessment: Mandalay
Risk: critical. Civil conflict since the February 2021 military coup (FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the whole of Myanmar), risk of arbitrary detention of foreign nationals, bomb incidents in Mandalay city, and severe infrastructure disruption including power outages, internet shutdowns, and banking system failures. A pre-deployment threat assessment covering the principal's itinerary, accommodation, and movement pattern is the first step for any Mandalay executive protection engagement.
Licensing and Vetting in Myanmar
