FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Residential security services for Tirana cover: property selection support (security-informed shortlisting), residential security survey (physical and procedural assessment), guard-force selection and vetting under the General Directorate of the State Police (DPSH)’s framework, physical security enhancement recommendations, emergency response planning, and ongoing security management. Services are available for short-term executive accommodation, longer-term expatriate assignments, and private residences. Fcdo advises a high degree of caution; us state dept level 2 (2026).

A residential security survey for a Tirana property should assess: perimeter integrity (walls, gates, fencing), access control (door and window security, lock quality), natural surveillance (sightlines from the property), lighting adequacy at all access points, guard post position and field of view, neighbourhood security environment, proximity to QSUT (Qendra Spitalore Universitare Nene Tereza) and emergency services, and the property’s communications capability. The survey should produce a written report with graded recommendations – high, medium, and low priority – so that the property owner or occupant can prioritise investment effectively.

Residential guard forces in Tirana must be licensed by the General Directorate of the State Police (DPSH) and vetted to the standards of the Law No. 75/2014 on Private Security. Management includes: shift scheduling and handover procedures, written post orders covering access control, emergency response, prohibited actions, and communications protocols, regular performance checks by a named security manager, and periodic retraining. In Albanian organised crime and EU accession environment, complacency in guard-force management is one of the most common causes of residential security failures – consistent supervision is required even when the threat level appears stable.

Emergency response planning for a Tirana residential property must address: medical emergency (nearest facility QSUT (Qendra Spitalore Universitare Nene Tereza), medevac pre-arrangement to Vienna or Rome), fire (evacuation route, assembly point, fire warden), security intrusion (lockdown procedure, alarm response, police contact), and civil disturbance or political crisis (shelter-in-place criteria, evacuation trigger and route). All occupants and guard-force members must be briefed on the plan before occupancy begins. Keep the plan updated as the security environment in Albanian organised crime and EU accession environment evolves.
