FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Residential security companies in Chittagong must hold licensing from Bangladesh Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs. Verify licensing documentation before engaging any provider. Companies operating without valid licensing have no legal standing during security incidents. Source: Bangladesh private security regulatory framework (2026).

Generator backup for security-critical systems is advisable in Chittagong as a standard precaution. Property selection in Agrabad and Nasirabad provides the best available access to response infrastructure.

Insider risk from domestic staff is a documented pattern in many locations where residential security programmes operate. A structured vetting process using identity document verification, police clearance, and reference checks, combined with a probationary period with restricted access to security-sensitive areas, is the standard mitigation.

The appropriate medevac routing from Chittagong depends on the nature of the medical event and the available regional facilities. The programme includes pre-identified local facilities for initial stabilisation and documented evacuation routing to the nearest internationally accredited hospital. Recommended routing: Chittagong Medical College Hospital or evacuation to Bangkok. A medevac provider should be on retainer before the principal or staff move into the property.
