Find local event security near you

For starters, Taskers who take on your needs will need to formulate a plan to secure your event and all stakeholders involved from start to finish — from security detail and itinerary to contingency plans in specific scenarios. Extra considerations like high-profile personalities involved and events of high public relevance are also taken into account when preparing event security. For your particular needs, feel free to discuss them with your Tasker.

You can never be too secure when it comes to holding events. Determining how much is too much would ultimately depend on who’s involved and what’s at stake at the event. However, it wouldn’t hurt to be extra careful to ensure that the event goes without a hitch and for your peace of mind. You may discuss with your Tasker more in-depth details about your event’s security and if you have some extras in mind.

Event suppliers, including security service providers, require an advanced deposit to get the work started, which is usually non-refundable. In case of cancellations for reasons other than acts of God, the supplier will likely enforce the no-refund clause. However, it would be best to talk with your Tasker should you cancel a booking or move it to another date since it varies from case to case.

Most people, particularly attendees, see the duration of event security from when they set up until the event ends. However, security detail might be needed for a more extended period, including preparations. These particulars should be discussed with your Tasker, and they will make recommendations on the best course of action for your peace of mind.

Security personnel tend to keep information regarding event stakeholders confidential, especially for high-profile personalities. Rest assured that whatever information you and other event stakeholders provide will be used solely to keep you safe from harm during the event and not for anything else. You may discuss information privacy concerns with your Tasker should you still have doubts about providing information.

Suppose you have an event coordinator who oversees all preparations. In that case, this should be more in their hands already, apart from some particulars that stakeholders might tell you instead of the coordinator. However, if you’re handling event preparations on your own, you would need to provide an itinerary for all stakeholders, their contact information should they need to be contacted, and other information relevant to securing them throughout event-related activities.

Typically, insurance is covered separately. However, you may ask your security specialist for insurance recommendations and other legalities surrounding insurance, risk, and potential loss. Some stakeholders involved in event production may require you to have insurance ready for them. It would be best to have insurance taken into account when planning for your event.
