Event Security FAQs
Do I need event security for a small private gathering?
Yes. Even small events benefit from security, whether it’s managing guest access, protecting VIPs, or responding to unexpected issues. We’ll help you determine the right level of coverage for your event’s size and scope.
What if our event requires coordination with law enforcement?
We frequently collaborate with local police, fire marshals, and emergency services. We’ll handle coordination as part of your event’s security planning, ensuring smooth integration with public safety teams.
Can your team provide discreet security for VIPs?
Absolutely. Our executive protection officers specialize in low-profile security for high-profile guests. They work seamlessly within your event to ensure both privacy and safety.
What happens if something goes wrong during the event?
Our teams are trained for rapid response. In the case of medical issues, altercations, or emergencies, we act immediately, deploying protocols and communicating directly with on-site teams and first responders.
How far in advance should I book event security?
The earlier the better. Ideally, we recommend scheduling a consultation at least 2–4 weeks in advance to allow time for site assessments, coordination, and staffing. For larger events, earlier planning is encouraged.
