Summer events are fun, but they can also involve a couple people who ruin it for everyone when they’re getting into a fight or stumbling around drunk and bothering others. It seems like when the weather is hot and sunny, people wear less clothes and lose some of their normal inhibitions. You add alcohol to the mix, and there can be trouble.
Summer events may include parades, concerts, festivals, outdoor parties and more. Summer events are generally held outdoors. Some are “kid-friendly” and others are very “adult.” Depending on what kind of summer event you’re hosting, you might need security guards to help keep the peace and/or do something as simple-yet-helpful as direct foot or vehicle traffic. Security guards can help with crowd control as they manage large crowds. They can also check for weapons and handle emergency responses if needed. What if someone faints from the heat? A guard can call for an ambulance to attend to that person’s needs.
Event attendees often need help figuring out where to go, whether that’s to the party itself, the restroom, etc. A guard can help point people in the right direction for where they need to be, ensuring a sense of safety and order with their visible presence. Security guards can also notice if potential conflicts are arising between people– and de-escalate the situation. If the conflict gets violent/out-of-hand, the guard can call the police to intervene. Security guards act as the eyes and ears of an event, noticing anything that seems out of the ordinary for the situation. They’re there to watch for unusual activity that could end up hurting others.
