10 Years on the Côte d'Azur

This summer marks the tenth consecutive year Westacre Security have been operating out of the French Riviera and Monaco. Westacre first operated in Monaco back in 2011 when we provided a 2-man Residential Security Team for one of our existing clients. Since then, we have established a reputation and grown our footprint in the region to a point where we now have multiple teams in Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat and Monaco. Our Team Leaders work together between themselves, other security teams, local Police and Gendarmerie to ensure we have the most up to date intelligence and threat reporting network available, thus allowing us to stay one step ahead of the criminals.

The area has long been popular with high net worth individuals from all over the world and with that brings an attraction to organised crime groups looking to exploit those who have inadequate security in place. With local police and intelligence agencies more focused on counter-terrorism (post the Bastille Day terrorist attacks in 2016), there is now more emphasis on the client to provide their own security. Consisting predominantly of ex-military personnel from some of the best elite units in the world, private security teams descent on the region during the summer months to protect clients and their property. Westacre Security are one of the key players in this elite world, with a strong credibility amongst the high net worth community and a growing reputation for being the go-to provider across the French Riviera for high level protection.
