Event security

Security planned around your event, whether corporate, political or social: access to the venue, protection of guests and property, and a plan for incidents. A well-run event feels relaxed to guests because the security work was done before they arrived.

The plan starts from the venue, the expected attendance and the timing, and sets out the personnel required and where each is posted, from the gate to the stage.

What it includes

• A security plan for the venue, the attendance and the timing
• Access control and ticket or accreditation checks at the entrances
• Searches of the venue, and of bags where required
• Protection for guests, speakers and VIPs
• Officers at exits, car parks and back-of-house areas
• A plan for incidents and evacuation, agreed with the venue

How it works

1. We visit the venue and agree the event’s needs with you.
2. We set out the plan: posts, numbers, timings and who leads on the day.
3. Officers are briefed on the event, the layout and the plan.
4. On the day a supervisor leads the team, and we review the event with you afterwards.

Where it fits

• Hospitality: functions, conferences and launches at hotels and venues
• Religious institutions: festivals, conventions and large services
• Education: graduations, sports days and open days

Works well with

• Crowd control: entry, queues and exits for larger crowds
• K9 units: the venue searched before guests arrive
• Mobile patrol and response: car parks and the streets around the venue
