LOS ANGELES - BostonChron -- As the holiday season begins, Access Patrol Services (APS), a California security company, offers the following event security measures to keep business, private or community events safe.

Pre-Event Assessment. The security guard company you hire will assess the event venue and create a security plan, taking into account the number of people in attendance and the type of event (family-friendly, work party, concert, religious service). Is the event inside or outside? Will it serve alcohol? The guard company will identify entrances, emergency exits, possible security concerns and evacuation plan.

Implementation

Check-In Security. If the event requires a check-in, security guards are stationed at check-in tables to screen guests and assist if someone tries to enter who isn't invited or doesn't have a ticket. They are stationed at other exits so no one tries to enter without authorization.

Crowd Management. Security guards make sure attendees behave themselves. This is especially important when alcohol is served. If someone is causing a disruption, guards remove the individual from the site and determine if further action is needed.

Traffic Control and Parking Security. Guards direct traffic toward parking locations. They ensure traffic flows smoothly while entering and exiting. Security guards can escort guests to their vehicles after the party. If guests have had too much to drink, guards can arrange safe transportation home.

In Case of an Emergency. If an emergency occurs, security guards are responsible for guiding participants to a designated safe location.

"Every holiday gathering is unique. We work with event organizers to create and implement a safety and security plan to fit their specific needs," says Fahim Abid, security director for APS. "While festive occasions are a time to celebrate, maintaining their security is a serious responsibility for every organizer and the security company they hire."
