  2. We cannot stress enough the importance of security at events. Security keeps you covered in case of Day-of security An injury to a guest 01 Damage to property 02 Crowd control 03 Troublesome guests 04 Unexpected situations 05 2

  3. Identify all venue entry points and make sure all personnel is aware of them. Creating a diagram you can share is an easy and effective way to give the team a visual understanding. If the venue is outdoors, establish boundaries where the event perimeter begins and ends. Temporary fencing and barricades can help. Know the venue inside and out 3

  4. Are there any attendees or guests that may pose a risk? You can’t do a background check for every ticket buyer, of course. But, you should identify potential risks. Be suspicious of guests that purchase event tickets in bulk. This may be an event protestor buying tickets for their fellow disruptors. Gauge attendee risk 4

  5. The larger the crowd, the more likely it is that something can go wrong. Staff needs to be comfortable with managing large groups and exerting authority when needed. The security team may need to perform the following with respects to crowd management: Control the crowd Ask guests to move away if they’re blocking the exit. Monitor the registration line to keep it organized and prevent people from cutting. (Using cones, yellow tape, or stanchions is a great help here.) Ensure guests don’t stray into staff-only areas or areas reserved for VIP. 5

  6. It’s unfortunate we have to mention this at all, but this is the reality. Big crowds are an easy and soft target, so armed security personnel are recommended for larger events. Assess the potential for large-scale attacks Monitoring for suspicious activity should also take place in the immediate vicinity of the venue exterior. Since bags won’t be checked until entry, perpetrators may find opportunities right outside the venue where attendees gather to register. 6

  7. If you hire a professional security detail, be sure they communicate back and forth with your own staff. Company staff and third-party security details tend to not communicate. The former should report all suspicious activity to the security team and refrain from direct confrontations. Keep communication tight 7
