Hiring an incompetent event security company will not only be a waste of money but may end your career as an Event Planner. As a security member is often the first point of contact at any event, getting it wrong can be a costly mistake in more ways than one.
Event and party planners have the same fundamental decision to make and that is hiring the best event security staff for their function.
When making this determination you could decide to adopt the path of minimal resistance and contract either the first security company that you encounter or go with the cheapest option you were able to find.
This approach is fine if all you are looking to do is serve an insurance condition or look to have positions filled but this could be a expensive error as you cannot assure the class of event security worker you are hiring.
What you have to remember is that event security personnel are often the first point of contact when anyone turns up to your occasion and if their image and demeanour are completely unsatisfactory then it will reflect badly on you.
Remember this, those security members hired by you will be the face of your occasion and client or company. If they blunder then the subsequent repercussions will affect your career and will be comprehensive, instant and long lasting; any impending event that you are concerned with will now be tarnished by your preceding endeavours.
It is not only good money you are throwing away but your hard earned reputation as a quality service provider.
You may recognise the old dictum, less is more, and when it comes to hiring a quality show and event security operator then you will find it to be entirely suitable.
When choosing a potential event security service provider I would recommend looking for that extra incentive.
Look to hire a security company that utilises staff who share a background in the emergency services. These people will have additional core skills that an ordinary security worker can only dream about and will have used them on an almost daily basis.
The reasoning behind this is that not only do they have the same understanding of all aspects of security but they will be trained to a higher degree in trauma management, they will have road traffic collision knowledge, emergency response driver experience and numerous other skills that an ordinary security operative will never acquire.
It may seem that getting two for the price of one is the best way forward for your event and certainly looks on paper the best value for money but I would still go for the single operative.
And the reason for this?
Simple, the two being paid minimum wage will not put in any extra effort, whereas the single operative is a proven professional and will be dedicated to fulfilling any given task to the best of their abilities.
When you start to view it in this context then you will see that you are getting the best value for your money, a great ambassador for your company, an operative who is tried and tested in exacting environments and someone who is capable of dealing with a multitude of additional scenarios.
Do your research and source an up and coming security company who look to provide event security operatives who are drawn not only from ex military backgrounds but from the emergency services.
Should you choose such a company you will find them to be eager, experienced and more than capable of supplying the quality your event demands.
