Planning security for an event: the key steps

Events1 min read

Concert, match or trade fair: estimating attendance, organising access and planning for emergencies happens well before the day.

A successful event is one where the public gets in, enjoys it and leaves without incident. That takes several weeks of preparation.

Estimate attendance

The expected number of people determines how many officers, entrances and checkpoints are needed. Allow a margin for arrival peaks.

Organise access

Separate entrances for the public, performers or players, contractors and emergency services. Each flow has its own checkpoint and instructions.

Plan screening

Ticket checks, bag inspection and security pat-downs take place at the entrance, with enough officers to avoid long queues.

Anticipate emergencies

An emergency plan sets out exits, assembly points and coordination with emergency services. Officers know it before the doors open.
