Trained personnel responsible for managing access, crowd safety, and incident response at an event.
Event security covers a wide range of functions: access control at entry points, crowd management in the venue, protection of VIPs, response to antisocial behaviour or medical emergencies, and coordination with police or emergency services. Security staffing ratios are often governed by venue licensing conditions or local regulations. Security staff must be licensed in most jurisdictions and should be briefed on the event layout, capacity limits, and emergency evacuation procedures.
