Have you ever attended a concert, professional sporting event, or other large public gathering? If so, it is likely you witnessed uniformed security personnel on-site for both the duration of each event and times pre and post any activity taking place. This presence has become common practice across the United States and not only does it offer a variety of different benefits, but in some circumstances it may even be required.

For many individuals, there could be a lot of questions you’ve always wanted to ask a concert security guard, no matter the current activity taking place. Often, these same inquiries can be applicable to any large public gathering - concert or not. Understanding the role of security personnel and how they can impact these public events is extremely beneficial.

Presence

First and foremost, security at any event site helps to set a precedent for the entire activity. From attendees to those who may be either performing or speaking, understanding there are security personnel in place can be extremely helpful in many regards. Having an established presence is first and foremost for helping to set a quality foundation of security at your event.

Crowd Control

Security personnel can also help with crowd control in a variety of different ways. By keeping individuals in attendance where they should be and being able to restrict access or monitor traffic flow, crowd control is extremely important for any security detail.

Professionalism

Uniformed personnel immediately gives any event an added sense of professionalism and integrity to the general public. Having these individuals in place can not only serve as quality protection but they also give a gathering the sense of professionalism.

Comfort

A security presence will also help event attendees feel comfortable knowing they are being protected. With any large public gathering, it is often an unspoken understanding that security measures will be put into place by organizers and these are often welcomed by the patrons.

Management

Having a trained and on-site security detail can free up all other associates to perform their respective job duties. By outsourcing protection, those responsible for an event can focus on more specific job duties without having to worry about added pressures.

Requirement

Depending on where your event is taking place, there is the possibility of security being a requirement. If you are renting a public space or event venue, it may be in the contract that a security detail be present on-site during the timeframe of use.
