Location and Number of Guests

The location of your event and the number of guests will play a big role in the number of security guards you'll need. In general, you'll need one security guard for every 50-100 people. However, depending on the logistics of your event, you may need more.

Known Threats

If a threat has been made against any of the attendees or the event itself, this will need to be accounted for in the total number of security guards you employ. In addition, if you think someone will crash the event, please communicate this to your security, too.

Alcohol Served

If there will be alcohol at your event, you should plan to hire more security guards. This is because when alcohol is involved, there is more likely to be altercations amongst the guests. Don't forget that your security guards watch over more than just the guests: they also have to watch entrances, exits, doors, any assets, and more.

Is the Protection General or Localized?
