Instruction manual
1
Before talking about ensuring the safety of mass events, determine the person who will fully control it and be responsible for the event. In most cases, the organizer becomes responsible, because without the necessary security, the remaining elements of the mass event are depreciated.
2
The human resource (bodyguards and security guards) remains always the most reliable tool that ensures safety. The guards themselves are able to monitor the current situation, take measures to eliminate any conflicts and coordinate the actions of those present at the mass event. However, in order to see the situation as a whole, keep in mind that they are provided with video surveillance equipment, walkie-talkies, so that their work is well-coordinated, this will greatly increase the speed of emergency response.
3
Depending on the type of mass event (whether it is closed or open), separate the specifics of the security strategy. Closed events include those that gather a pre-agreed narrow circle of people in a separate building where strangers cannot go. Open events are meetings, street concerts, fairs.
4
Closed mass events are easier to protect from threats from outside, as the circle of guests is usually limited. For such events, first of all, choose the right room (capacity, compliance with sanitary, fire, technical standards). If there is no backup security personnel at the premises, then contact the departmental and private security services.
5
To ensure the safety of open public events, staff a large staff, as the risk of offenses will increase. If necessary, the actions of security, coordinate with law enforcement agencies.
note
It is necessary to coordinate the question of whether it is possible to use the bodyguards of invited guests as part of the guard before the event.
Useful advice
Ensuring the safety of a mass event is best solved through the mutual work of security services of all parties involved in the event.
