Event Security

What is Event Security?

Event security is a service provided by private security companies, perhaps in conjunction with local or national government operatives in order to deliver safe and secure events at various venues. The primary aims of event security are to ensure the safety of attendees and staff while protecting the venue and property.

Security at events may be required to deal with all sorts of different incidents, including attacks, injuries, property damage, crowd control, guests looking to cause trouble and many other unexpected situations. So, event security can run the whole gamut of security services including from high-level strategy and anti-terrorism through threat and risk assessment and planning to manned guarding and stewarding.
