Special Events Security
From conferences and AGMs to concerts and sporting events, we plan and deliver event security that keeps guests safe, entrances moving and organisers in control.
The risk — and how we manage it
Events bring large crowds, tight timelines, alcohol, high-value equipment and VIPs together in temporary venues — and must comply with the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act and local authority requirements.
Our events team attends planning and safety meetings, prepares a security plan and deploys officers for access control, bag searches, crowd management, VIP and backstage areas, cash points and parking. A dedicated supervisor coordinates with your event organiser, medics and SAPS on the day.

Do you provide VIP protection at events?
