Making sure everyone is safe
News posts
Having long made the safety of people and property a key goal of public policy, over the years the Principality of Monaco has developed a particularly effective approach. Thanks to the complementary nature of the resources deployed and their ability to continually adapt, Monegasque nationals, residents, visitors and employees enjoy optimum security.
The Prince’s Government’s security policy is based on a series of complementary resources.
Together, these resources make it possible to respond effectively and rapidly to potential risks and threats.
Fire and Emergency Service
The main component of the Principality's Civil Security system, the 148-strong Fire and Emergency Service, works every day for the people of Monaco.
Public Safety
The Principality of Monaco is renowned for its peaceful surroundings. This is accomplished through the work of more than six hundred members of the Police Department, who contribute to this invaluable component of community life with the backing of more than a thousand video surveillance cameras.
Emergency services
To deal with both everyday incidents and exceptional events, the Principality has developed a comprehensive civil protection infrastructure.
Safety at events
The Ministry of Interior is responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of life for everyone, particularly during public events. Safeguarding measures include ensuring that organisers of the many events held in Monaco comply with safety standards and limit the environmental impact.
