CROWD MANAGEMENT

Crowd management is the systematic process of planning, organizing and monitoring large gatherings of people with the objective to establish a safe and secure environment and maintaining a minimum level of space to avoid panic and rapid crowd movements. Crowd management anticipates and plans for the worst case, such as fire or riots and aims to reduce and mitigate the risks associated with it way in advance. The project of crowd management begins before the gathering, continues throughout and ends after the gathering or event.

  • Event site safety is a real present concern in todays society. The threat picture is real. We have foreign and domestic terrorism concerns, localized crime issues, and human trafficking concerns. All these must be factored in and understood by a competent professional who has the optics and experience in mitigating these threats onsite or while on the road.

    The first step in securing your event is to conduct a risk assessment. We have a network of former military, law enforcement, and industry professionals who look at things from a different lens.

  • Assessments are comprehensive and conducted by an industry professional. Many of these individuals have backgrounds in law enforcement, military, or private sector security work. Every aspect of your event is looked at to identify vulnerabilities that are digested and shared with our clients in a constructive way. No event is the same so there isn’t a duplicatable template. What the client is left with is a detailed assessment based on industry knowledge with suggestions on how the gap can be closed to ensure the safety and security of employees, vendors, artists and patrons.

  • We have a unique approach based on decades of experience operating within the entertainment industry. We can develop clear action plans to real world situations. This allows the live portion of an event to pivot as one.

    Our team members can assume onsite roles to aid in mitigating these situations. Often when a a critical threat presents itself a competent professional can direct the team and aid in adapting. Applying policy with clearly defined response procedures is key when responding to any threat in realtime.

  • Event staff come from all walks of life, some are experienced in their craft and some are only just starting on their journey. Hopefully as an event stakeholder you are armed with a risk assessment and an action plan book. Training is crucial in the moments that matter. When a high stress situation presents itself the flight or fight factor comes into play. It’s normal as it is human nature. If your staff are armed with proper certified training, knowledge, and have trained as a team you can respond as one cohesive unit.

    We adapt training curriculum to comply with local, state and federal laws. This is means response actions can be defendable in court by a certified professional who has the experience to backup his or her training curriculum.

  • We can provide live onsite support by an industry professional to aid in mitigating site security and crowd concern as they happen. The benefit of this is we can be apart of the event debrief process and speak to lessons learn and provide suggestions for improvement.
