Why You Need Event Security

Why You Need Event Security

With warmer weather on the horizon and COVID-19 restrictions easing up,  we are looking forward to the possibility of events being back in full swing by spring/summer this year. We anticipate this year’s event season to be jam-packed with two years of pent-up events that have yet to be held. 

Whether you’re hosting a retail event, concert, sporting event, an intimate corporate conference or a festival with 5,000+ people, our security professionals can help ensure the success of your event, starting with your guests and staff’s safety.  

To keep your event safe and secure, whilst ensuring your guests are well taken care of, we’ve compiled a list of some of the benefits of event security, and why you might want to consider it for your next event: 

 

1.     Deter Party Crashers

Monitoring and maintaining a guest list can be a daunting task, and it might mean that you don’t get to enjoy the entirety of your event if you’re meticulously reviewing every guest who enters and exits your event. Having a security guard present at your event is, more than often, enough to deter any uninvited guest from your event. If there does happen to be an unexpected or unwanted guest, our professional team will be available to quickly remove and diffuse the situation. 

 

2.     Emergency Preparedness 

When it comes to planning an event, you can never be too prepared – especially when it comes to the safety of your guests, vendors and any attendees. Accidents happen and unprecedented emergencies unfortunately can occur due to many external or unknown factors, and – when hosting or managing an event – you never want to be caught in a situation without an emergency plan and professional security guards to ensure everyone gets out safely. 

 

3.     Crowd Management 

A large group can become extremely hard to manage and come become unruly – fast. IntercomLux security guards are trained in the most effectual crowd management skills to ensure your guests can enjoy your event in a safe environment. Crowd management is also one of the most effective tactics to ensure conflicts do not arise amongst guests. 

 

4.     Enforce COVID-19 Mandates and Capacity Limitations 

As COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease, we are looking to forward to the warmer weather and the potential of events being back in full swing by the spring/summertime. Until then, COVID-19 restrictions and mandates are very much still in place, including the requirement for COVID-19 plans, vaccination requirements, and mask mandates for indoor venues. With these restrictions still in place, we are continuing to work with our clients to ensure their guests/visitors are abiding by the remaining COVID-19 restrictions to ensure they are able to remain open and operational. 

 

5.     Make Your Guests Feel Safe & Secure 

Our number one priority as security guards is to keep your guests safe and secure during your event. From providing a more professional appeal to ensuring emergencies are handled efficiently and effectively, having security guards at your event will boost your guests’ trust in you and your event and make the entire experience more enjoyable for all. 

 

To ensure all details are considered and taken care of, our team will collaborate with you to develop a customized event security plan, guaranteeing the highest level of protection. All factors are taken into consideration, including the forecasted number of attendees, the type of event, the location of the event and venue/equipment expectancies. Through extensive preparation, including threat identification and analysis, scenario mapping, premises inspection, and security equipment setup - by being proactive, we ensure your guest experience remains authentic to the event itself.
