HIGHLY-TRAINED OFFICERS THAT MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
Your guests should remember your event, not your security. We emphasize a polite and compassionate approach to security throughout our hiring and training process. This not only improves compliance with security, but also enhances your guests' experience.
Reassuring yet unobtrusive, Paladin’s uniforms and deportment standards also ensure the right look is achieved for your event.
PREPARED FOR ANYTHING: RISK ASSESSMENT AND EMERGENCY PREVENTION
Our event security officers assure your guests’ safety and wellbeing while providing you with peace of mind so you can enjoy your event. Site risk identification and assessment can be conducted before the event to review security's responsibilities, job tasks, and duties on the day. Risk assessments identify all potential hazards at the site, including fire hazards, biological hazards, routes of transmission, and the risk to event attendees.
All Paladin event security officers receive our industry-leading training and certification during their onboarding process. Paladin goes above and beyond to provide our officers with event-specific training, refresher training, and recertification. With Paladin, you can rest assured that your event will go off without a hitch.
FAQs
What are event security services?
Event security services provide trained, licensed security professionals to help protect guests, staff, performers, vendors, and property during events. Paladin’s event security services can include access control, crowd management, emergency preparedness, incident response, first aid support, and reliable, scalable coverage. An event security guard anticipates potential problems that might disrupt the event and creates plans to mitigate those risks. Proper event security personnel should help enhance the experience of everyone at the event.
What does event security include?
Event security can include entry screening, credential checks (e.g. tickets, identification), bag checks, perimeter patrols, backstage or restricted-area access control, crowd management, emergency response, incident reporting, first aid and coordination with event organizers or local authorities. Security providers will often work with event planning staff to determine what areas should be accessible to attendees and what procedures should take place in the event of an emergency. Paladin can tailor event security based on venue, attendance, risk, and schedule.
How many security guards do I need for an event?
The number of event security guards needed depends on the event size, venue layout, crowd profile, alcohol service, entry points, risk level, emergency plans, and local requirements. To determine this, Paladin will conduct a risk and threat assessment, which includes a review of relevant requirements from the fire safety plan, licensing/insurance needs (if applicable), and the public safety plan from local police (if available). Paladin can help assess these factors and recommend reliable, scalable coverage for small, mid-sized, or major events.
How does event security support crowd management?
Event security supports crowd management by helping direct guest flow, monitor access points, manage queues, identify potential safety concerns, and respond to incidents before they escalate. Fully trained event security teams help create a safer and more organized experience for attendees. A security team will require several documents and instructions for access control and crowd management requirements.
Can event security guards help with emergency response and first aid?
Yes. Event security guards can support emergency and incident response by identifying hazards, reporting issues, guiding evacuations, and providing first aid or coordinating with first aid teams or emergency services. Depending on the deployment, Paladin can provide personnel with relevant first aid and emergency preparedness training. Security staff will carry a 2-way radio at all events for seamless communication.
What types of events need professional security services?
Nearly every public event requires the involvement of security and/or local law enforcement. The type of security required depends on the outcome of the risk assessment. Professional event security services are useful for concerts, festivals, sporting events, corporate events, conferences, community events, private functions, campus events, and large public gatherings. Any event with crowds, controlled access, valuable equipment, or safety considerations can benefit from trained security support.
When should I book event security before an event?
Large events require significant preparation, and the planning cycle normally begins several months before the actual event. Staffing, oversight, logistics, training, and uniforms are some of the areas that require advanced planning. Event security should be booked as early as possible, especially for large events, high-profile gatherings, or venues with complex requirements. Early planning gives Paladin time to assess risks, schedule fully trained staff, coordinate emergency preparedness, and build a coverage plan that fits the event.
