The industry standards are usually one security guard per 100 to 250 attendees in general events, but it might change to a higher number of security guards to guard high-profile performers or events with specific considerations.

Our approach focuses on a security presence that is visible yet non-intrusive. We train our personnel in customer service skills and positive engagement techniques, ensuring they approach security responsibilities as helpful guardians rather than enforcers.
