Evaluate Guests

An experienced security guard will be skilled at evaluating guests to assess them for potential risks. Since you can’t run a background check on your guests, how can you determine whether or not someone is trustworthy and will not create an unsafe environment for other attendees? Experienced security guards have seen a lot of action throughout their careers, and are especially skilled at pointing out guests who are more likely to create a scene or issues for the event staff of guests. They will have the training required to prevent problems before they even begin.

Crowd Control

Unfortunately, the more people you put into one room, the greater the chances are that something will go wrong. A capable staff will be comfortable with handling large crowds, but when the staff-to-guest ratio is too low, staff members will need some assistance to ensure that there are no glitches or threats to the safety or wellbeing of everyone in attendance. To help keep things running smoothly, an event security guard will be able to:

• Make sure none of the guests are blocking the exits
• Manage the event entrance and keep the line moving without interruption
• Monitor staff-only or VIP-only areas to ensure that no uninvited guests slip through
• Maintain the proper venue capacity and avoid going over the limit to avoid fines and other punishment for the venue owners.

Prevent Large-Scale Threats

Unfortunately, large gatherings are a prime target for those who are looking to carry out large-scale attacks. Security guards are ideal for large events that could easily go wrong with just one unruly guest. Security guards can help to monitor guests as they arrive, and check bags for weapons or other dangerous materials. Prior to your event, be sure to let guests know that their bags will be checked at the door for their safety, and if possible provide them with a list of objects or materials that will not be allowed at the venue. Security guards can also use metal detectors, and keep an eye out for suspicious activities such as guests who:

• Seem to be constantly looking at staff members
• Look like they are casing the venue for a robbery
• Are not active or engaged in the activities
• Seem distracted, nervous, or irritable

The key to having a safe, successful event is to have great communication between staff members and security guards, and ensure that the security guards you choose have the training they’ll need to handle just about any situation.
