Contain Chaos: 4 Places to Add Security Guards This Fall

January might be the start of a new year on the calendar but, for many people, fall is the real beginning of a fresh year. School, sports, holidays – there is a lot going on in September, October, and November. Some activities are so busy that businesses, schools, and public offices require extra security guards to manage crowds, exuberance, theft, vandalism, and other problems.

1. Protect the Fun of Fall Sports

Whether you’re in charge of high school or collegiate football games, soccer matches or volleyball tournaments, fall sports come with energy and excitement and plenty of potential chaos. For most sports fans, summer is a drought – players, families, and spectators are ready to start rooting for their favorite teams again through tailgates, bonfires, and everything that comes with it.

When you arm stadiums, fields, parking lots, dorms, and academic buildings with extra security guards, you help protect everyone. Safety is critical when rivalries abound, weather changes affect moods, and the score of a game can leave one group smarting. With security guards in place, fights get noticed before they spiral out of control and troublemakers are escorted from the premises.

2. Establish Order in Bars

Even bars with bouncers aren’t always well-equipped enough to manage game-day crowds, visiting students, or families in town for holidays. Doubling up with security guards at front and back doors and within the establishment keeps drinkers and revelers from arguing over what’s on the flatscreen, protects patrons from unwanted attention, and keeps underage visitors outside.

Bars are a place to let loose and enjoy life but add alcohol to any special event or just a fun fall Friday night and there is always the likelihood of behavior getting out of hand. Bouncers bounce, but armed security guards ensure true order and safety.

3. Keep Fall Festivals Festive

Fall festivals are relatively calm. They’re busy, happy gatherings usually held during daylight hours, but that doesn’t mean all is easy and light the whole time. Theft is common when there are tight collections of people and wallets, phones, and other valuables are easily picked up. Items for sale are often stolen and yes, fights can break out among unexpected groups of people.

No one wants to go out for a fall afternoon and run into a spectacle at a craft show, pumpkin festival, or hayride. Uniformed guards make it clear that while this is an opportunity to have a good time, shenanigans will not be tolerated and they will keep you safe and secure.

4. Prepare Now for Black Friday

Black Friday is the event that marks the end of one season and the beginning of another. We all know what it is, we all know what it’s like – if you have any sort of commercial enterprise, extra security guards are a must. Protect your merchandise, people, customers, parking lots, and proprietary information with armed and uniformed security guards at the ready.
