Common Event Security Concerns
- Theft by those using the crowd to their advantage to conduct their business without notice
- Theft by internal staff who use their access to restricted areas to steal valuables, materials or other
- Vandalism of property is common at group events. Your security guard is continuously monitoring the attendees to ensure no damage to property
- Incidents of injury as well as emergencies such as heart attack or stroke must be handled with care. If there are paramedics on site, ensure that your security staff are aware of where to locate them. Radio communication should include emergency responders, if on site.
- Overconsumption is a likely challenge to any security team where alcohol is served. Arguments, conflicts and belligerent behaviour should not be tolerated, and guests should be safely escorted away from the event. In the case of overt violence, guards may subdue the attendee until they can be relieved by a police officer who can further detain the individual.
Planning the Event Security
In order to properly plan for your event, your security professional will want to understand some key elements of your event and expected attendees. The context of your event is a good place to start. For example, is it an annual company gala? Is it a fundraiser for children or other vulnerable populations? Is it a political event? The context of your event will help guide the conversation with your security vendor and provides a sense of who might be participating. A wedding tradeshow, for example, is likely to attract a young crowd of primarily women, whereas outdoor rock concerts serving alcohol will have a very different security profile.
Working Together
Your security company will also want to know about any lingering controversies that may make the event a target for thieves, criminals or agitators. Along with an understanding of the logistical layout of the facility and its surrounding property including parking lots, your security vendor is able to recommend how many physical guards are required to effectively support your event, and sharing general information about the security measures already in place, such as cameras, will help them to point out any potential need to reinforce weak points in the overall plan.
