Don’t Let Your Special Event End In Disaster – Insist On Manned Guard Security

Nov. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- So you’re planning a big event – it could be a garden party, musical performance or exhibition. The tickets have been sent out, the entertainment has been booked, and your venue is fully prepared. But how’s your security?

It’s an unfortunate reality of the modern world that, if you’re holding a popular, desirable event, people who aren’t supposed to be there will want to be – and some of them will try to get inside. How do you stop them?

Executive Group Holdings (www.executivegroupholdings.co.uk/security_services.html)  have extensive experience in providing manned guard security services for events across Manchester, Warrington and Liverpool. Here are a few tips on how your event can benefit from manned security, helping to ensure everything runs smoothly, efficiently and, most importantly, safely…

PREVENT OVERCROWDING
As you’ll know, organising a large event means you’re subject to a whole host of security-based rules, regulations and legislation. For example, you’ll probably have a maximum capacity limit for attendees to ensure the safety of your guests. And, of course, if a ticket is required to get in, you’ll want to keep out those without tickets. Security guards can help ensure that anyone who isn’t supposed to get in doesn’t – so overcrowding won’t be an issue.

CONTROL YOUR CROWD
Even if you’re not over capacity, having a large number of people congregating in one place has the potential to cause issues. Manned security is a must for ensuring that troublemakers in the crowd are identified and dealt with promptly and efficiently by trained professionals – so everyone else can enjoy themselves.

PATROL THE AREA – THOROUGHLY
For larger events, such as music festivals, it may not be practical or cost-effective to have static security guards covering the entire area. In these instances, a mobile patrol is the ideal option. They’ll move around the site, ensuring it’s safe and secure. Larger events will definitely benefit from a combination of static security at places where large numbers of people are likely to congregate, and a mobile patrol of security guards keeping an eye on the quieter, less-populated areas.

PROTECT YOUR VIPS
Do you have high-profile guests at your event? Whether it’s a performance from a world-famous singer, a talk from an international politician or a corporate event hosted by a popular TV comedian, you’re going to need close protection officers. More than mere bodyguards, your officers should provide a discreet, fast-reacting service that relies on brains as much as brawn. Ensure your close protection offers are all SIA licensed trained professionals for your peace of mind.
