Event Security

As the name suggests, event security is security activities provided by a security company for an event such as Nawakara, in cooperation with government institutions or stakeholders if needed.

Event Security Planning

Several things that must be considered in event security planning are, to name a few:

  • The scale of the event

In doing so, the number of security personnel to be placed in the event location should be adjusted. 

  • The venue

A comprehensive understanding of an area to be secured is crucial in doing security activities, and securing an event is not an exception. Implementing one of the elements of security concept, i.e., crime prevention through environmental design. 

An event venue obviously must be chosen based on the kind of event to be held. In relation to security activities, several things to be considered are the size of the venue, access points, evacuation routes in case incidents happen, the use of fences if the event is held outdoors, etc. 

Choosing the wrong venue could lead to many kinds of security incidents, especially overcrowding. Where the number of people in the venue exceeds its capacity. 

There are a lot of cases where overcrowding becomes the cause of an event to be stopped. Especially with the still on-going Covid-19 pandemic.

There are still a lot of things to be considered in planning event security. That will be used to determine the different kinds of role of security guard personnel in the event.

The Different Kinds of Roles of Security Guard Personnel in an Event

Overall, the main goal of having security guard personnel at an event is to protect and maintain order in the event. But to achieve that, there are several roles with different duties to be fulfilled. 

Depending on the capabilities of the individual, a security guard personnel can be tasked to, for example:

  • Guarding Access Point

Guarding the access point is the most common duty of security guard personnel in an event. Being the first layer of event security, this role is obviously crucial.

Even if security activities such as bag check or ticket check are done by electronic devices at the access point, the placement of security guard personnel in the access point is done to maintain order and to ease response if any incidents are to occur.

Hence, ensuring that entry to the event venue is given only to authorized attendees and preventing any disturbance that could affect the smooth running of the event. 

  • Patrol

An event held in a large venue will also need security guard personnel to conduct patrol, observing every kind of activity that happens in the event. 

Having security guard personnel to patrol at an event will heavily quicken the response time if any security incidents happen anywhere in the venue and assist attendees to the emergency exit if an emergency happens. Giving them a peace of mind in attending the event. 

While other roles and responsibilities are equally important, there is one role of security guard personnel in an event that needs to be written separately. Namely, security guards that are responsible for close protection.
