At any special, large-scale event, one thing nobody thinks about is the Event Security. Rightfully so! The Security Guards are
there to keep the guests safe and to be unobtrusive, practically invisible. Of course it's easy for those people planning
events to forget about the Security Services until it's too late.
Security Companies often times need advance notice to make certain they'll have enough guards to staff your event. The
Security Company will work with you to provide adequate guards that will ensure the safety and security of your guests.

security officer is usually a privately and formally employed person who is paid to protect property, assets, and/or people. Often, security
officers are uniformed and act to protect property by maintaining a high visibility presence to deter illegal and/or inappropriate actions,
observing (either directly, through patrols, or by watching alarm systems or video cameras) for signs of crime, fire or disorder; then taking action
and/or reporting any incidents to their client, employer and emergency services as appropriate. Since at least the Middle Ages in Europe, the
term watchman was more commonly applied to this function.
Many security firms and proprietary security departments practice the "detect, deter, observe and report" methodology. Security officers are not
required to make arrests (but have the authority to make a citizen's arrest) or otherwise act as an agent of law enforcement at the request of a
police officer, sheriff, and others.
In addition to the methodology mentioned above, a private security officer's primary duty is the prevention and deterrence of crime. Security
personnel enforce company rules and can act to protect lives and property. In fact, they frequently have a contractual obligation to provide
these actions. Security officers are often trained to perform arrest and control procedures (including handcuffing and restraints), operate
emergency equipment, perform first aid, CPR, take accurate notes, write detailed reports, and perform other tasks as required by the contractee
they are serving. Many security officers are required to go through additional training mandated by the state for the carrying of weapons such
as batons, firearms, and pepper spray (e.g. the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services[1] in California has requirements that a license for
each item listed must be carried while on duty). [1] Some officers are required to complete police certification for special duties. Positions are
also set to grow in the U.S., with 350,000 new security jobs expected over the next decade.[2] In recent years, due to elevated threats of
terrorism, most security officers are required to have bomb-threat training and/or emergency crisis training, especially those located in soft
target areas such as shopping malls, schools, and any other area where the general public congregate.
One major economic justification for security personnel is that insurance companies (particularly fire insurance carriers) will give substantial
rate discounts to sites which have a 24-hour presence; for a high risk or high value venue, the discount can often exceed the money being
spent on its security program. This is because having security on site increases the odds that any fire will be noticed and reported to the local
fire department before a total loss occurs. Also, the presence of security personnel (particularly in combination with effective security
procedures) tends to diminish "shrinkage," theft, employee misconduct and safety rule violations, property damage, or even sabotage. Many
casinos hire security guards to protect money when transferring it from the casino to the casino's bank.
Security personnel may also perform access control at building entrances and vehicle gates; meaning, they ensure that employees and visitors
display proper passes or identification before entering the facility. Security officers are often called upon to respond to minor emergencies (lost
persons, lockouts, dead vehicle batteries, etc.) and to assist in serious emergencies by guiding emergency responders to the scene of the
incident, helping to redirect foot traffic to safe locations, and by documenting what happened on an incident report. Armed security officers
are frequently contracted to respond as law enforcement until a given situation at a client location is under control and/or public authorities
arrive on the scene.
Patrolling is usually a large part of a security officer's duties. Often these patrols are logged by use of a guard tour patrol system, which require
regular patrols. The most commonly used form used to be mechanical clock systems that required a key for manual punching of a number to a
strip of paper inside with the time pre-printed on it. Recently, electronic systems have risen in popularity due to their light weight, ease of use,
and downloadable logging capabilities [3]. Regular patrols are, however, becoming less accepted as an industry standard, as it provides
predictability for the would-be criminal, as well as monotony for the security officer on duty. Random patrols are easily programmed into these
systems, allowing greater freedom of movement and unpredictability. Global positioning systems are also easing their way into the market as a
more effective means of tracking officer movement and patrol behavior.
Although security officers differ greatly from police officers, military personnel, federal agents/officers, and the like, the United States has a
growing proportion of security personnel that have former police or military experience, including senior management personnel. On the other
hand, some security officers, young people in particular, use the job as practical experience to use in applying to law enforcement agencies.
Security personnel are classified as either of the following
* "in-house" or "proprietary" (i.e. employed by the same company or organization they protect, such as a mall, theme park, or casino);
formerly often called works police or security police in the United Kingdom
* "contract," working for a private security company which protects many locations.
* "Public Security," "Private Police Officers," or security police
* "Private Patrol Officers", vehicle patrol officers that protect multiple client premises.
Industry terms for various security personnel include: Security guards, security agents, watchmen, security officers, safety patrol, Armed
Security, Private Police, Company police, Loss Prevention, Bodyguards, Executive Protection Agents, or Access Managers. Other job titles in
the security industry include dispatcher, receptionist, driver, supervisor, alarm responder, mall security officer, private patrol officer, Private
Patrol Operator, and manager.
State and local governments sometimes regulate the use of these terms by law -- for example, certain words and phrases that "give an
impression that he or she is connected in any way with the federal government, a state government, or any political subdivision of a state
government" are forbidden for use by California security licensees by Business and Professions Code Section 7582.26. So the terms "private
homicide police" or "special agent" would be unlawful for a security licensee to use in California. Similarly, in Ontario, Canada, the Private
Security and Investigative Services Act specifically prohibits private security personnel from using the terms detective, private detective, law
enforcement, police, or officer. Recent changes to the act have also introduced restrictions on uniform and vehicle colours and markings to
make private security personnel clearly distinctive from police personnel.

There is a marked difference between persons performing the duties historically associated with watchmen and persons who take a more active
role in protecting persons and property. The former, often called "guards," are taught the mantra "observe and report," are minimally trained,
and not expected to deal with the public or confront criminals. The latter are often highly trained, sometimes armed depending on contracts
agreed upon with clientele, and are more likely to interact with the general public and to confront the criminal element. These employees
tend to take pride in the title "Security Officer" or "Protection Officer" and disdain the label of "guard." Ironically enough, there may be no
relationship between duties performed and compensation -- many mall "security officers" who are exposed to serious risks make less per hour
than "industrial security guards" with less training and responsibility.[4] However, there are now more positions in the security role that separate
not just the titles, but the job itself. The roles have progressed and so have the areas for which security people are needed. All security jobs
vary in pay and duties at present.
The term "agent" is particularly problematic in the security industry because it can describe not only a civil legal relationship between an
employee and their employer or contractor ("agent of the owner" in California PC 602), but also describes a person in government service
("Special Agent Jones of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.") However we should then also consider the fact that this title is also made
available to banking agents, loan agents and real estate agents. Security "agents" found in loss prevention and personal or executive
protection (bodyguards) typically work in plainclothes, without a uniform, and are usually highly trained to act lawfully in direct defense of life
and/or property. There is also confusion with bail enforcement agents, or as they are popularly known "bounty hunters," who are sometimes
regulated by the same agencies which regulate private security.
Security personnel are essentailly private citizens, and therefore are bound by the same laws and regulations as the citizenry they are
contracted to serve, and therefore are not allowed to represent themselves as law enforcement under penalty of law. [5][6]
