Which Events Call for Services from Private Security Companies?

When planning an upcoming event, make sure you have a clear understanding of the security requirements. Our experienced team at Professional Guard and Patrol (PGP) have helped many clients plan and carry out their events with no security incidents. In this post, we’ll explain more about the types of event that require expert security services from private security companies.

Protest events

When you know that a protest is taking place or you are part of an organization that is being protested, you might wish to hire private security companies to handle the protest. The security company can make sure that protestors stay in a safe area and that the two opposing parties remain separated at a safe distance during the event.

Sports events

Sporting events, particularly college sporting events can become very rowdy. Fans are known to drink heavily before and after the game and this can make the atmosphere somewhat volatile. Having a security team on standby can help ensure that your property and the other attendees are protected. Security personnel can monitor the crowd and pick out troublemakers. They can also advise you on the best strategies to have a peaceful event.

Concerts

Whether the concert is for a metal band or a popular singer, crowds can get out of control quickly when you don’t have the right level of security. Security teams can pinpoint changes in the crowd mentality, they can also remove those that are causing a disturbance. In addition, you can have security experts placed at the entrance for the concert to ensure alcohol and weapons are not brought into the building.

Controversial fundraisers

Some fundraisers have been known to garner negative attention, particularly when political or religious affiliations are involved, so it’s important your fundraiser has the requisite level of security. Speak with local private security companies about how to safeguard your event and ensure it’s hosted securely.
