A safe event is planned well before the doors open. Use this checklist to make sure nothing is left to the last minute.

Before the event

  • Send your security plan to the venue at least 30 days out.
  • Coordinate with local police and EMS.
  • Check your guard-to-attendee ratio with the venue and local authorities.

On the day

  • Brief staff before each shift at every entry point.
  • Test radios and have backup communication ready.
  • Follow a written bag-check procedure.

After the event

  • File incident reports within 24 hours.
  • Debrief with the venue and your client.

We provide licensed, bonded event staff across Edmonton, Leduc, Red Deer and Calgary.
