Event Security • TESS GLOBAL

Special events–with their large crowds, complex venues, and VIPs–pose a multitude of unique security challenges that require
extensive preparations and a high level of hands-on management. No two events are ever the same, and a skilled event security
team will rise to myriad challenges, both expected and unexpected.

The most important considerations when planning a large event include access control and crowd management. Access control
refers to the ways in which attendees enter the event as well as to special areas in the venue where access needs to be limited,
such as green rooms, backstage areas, and VIP seating sections.

Crowd management can be a complicated task, particularly for a large event or one that fills a venue to capacity. Managing
crowds includes foot traffic control, pat-downs and bag searches, solving interpersonal disputes, safely removing problematic
attendees, and ensuring the personal safety of the crowd. All of this must be done with the utmost diplomacy.

Tactful Elite Security Solutions has the experience, expertise, and skills required to ensure a successful and safe event for
everyone.

Preparation is Key
Ensuring the safety and security of VIPs and event attendees alike is no small task. It requires impeccable planning.
Understanding the complexities of the venue and the level of access control needed is critical for ensuring adequate manpower
and preemptively solving problems.

• Long before the event takes place, our seasoned security professionals evaluate the venue and the event and decide on the best
  strategies, tools, and personnel needed for the highest level of security. This behind-the-scenes work requires a highly capable,
  detail-oriented team that understands all aspects of event security and follows the industry’s best practices protocol to execute it.
  To successfully prepare for an event, the TESS security team works to:
  Test and review any electronic security methods in place, such as metal detection, to ensure they interface with other
  security solutions.
• Evaluate a range of factors–including the type of event, the nature of the VIPs, and the number of people expected to
  attend–to adequately staff and monitor the event.
• Coordinate with security staff and local law enforcement and other officials to prevent or quickly solve problems.
• Appoint key personnel and establish a chain of command to keep communication lines open and the event running
  smoothly.
