4 Signs Your Venue Needs Summer Security
Warmth, sun, fun – summer can make you feel like all is well and nothing could possibly go wrong at your venue or event, but not everyone is in it to have a good time, and sometimes excited crowds are swayed in the wrong directions. Problems, chaos, and violence can occur in a moment, no matter how big a crowd. If any of the following truths apply to your venue, summer security guards are a must.
1. The Temps Are Sky High
Heat is scientifically proven to raise tempers. The higher the thermometer, the less patience people have for one another, for limitations, and for rules. If you’re operating a special event during a heatwave packed with humidity, it’s necessary to account for the side effects that these summer numbers can cause on moods and behavior – even if your venue is flooded with air conditioning. Armed security guards are on the lookout to ward off heat-induced issues before they escalate.
2. Alcohol Is Flowing
Alcohol can turn any summer fun into a scary situation. Add extreme heat, revelry, and forced relaxation amid crowds and trouble is almost inevitable. Whether your venue is indoors or outdoors, people who are drinking alcohol but are otherwise dehydrated, who have been in the sun all day, who aren’t eating enough – it can all equal alcohol-induced problems. Summer security pros monitor the effects of alcohol consumption to prevent trouble from developing.
3. Visitors Descend En Masse
When people travel in the summer for vacation or a weekend away, they are likely to eat more, drink more, spend more time in the sun, or engage in behaviors that are out of character – and that might mean speaking up in situations where they’re normally quiet, or making a fuss when they would otherwise accept the status quo. Security guards on duty are trained to recognize red flags and regularly patrol concession stands, bathroom areas, or main concourse to stop problematic behaviors in progress in extreme crowds of people.
4. Parking Is Your Responsibility
Summer security guards aren’t only needed within an event or venue, but also at its perimeter and sometimes with VIPs. Entrances, exits, and parking move more smoothly when carefully monitored by security guards in uniform. Safety is a priority in parking lots which may not always be well-lit or easy to navigate depending on the location, like muddy fields or unlined lots. Security guards can escort guests to vehicles, aid them in maneuvering through sketchy areas, and help prevent accidents, attacks, and other violent circumstances.
