Our event security managers will provide quotes based on recommended security cover levels, in line with the Purple Guide and our industry experience. As a result, our recommended cover levels may differ from those requested on the form. The event security manager preparing your quote will explain why we may have recommended a greater number of officers than requested when the quote is sent.

One common discrepancy between the quotes we provide and what our clients request with regard to staff numbers is the addition of the following roles: Control Staff, Event Security Manager, and Search Teams.

As part of our incident response plans, we designate Control and a Security Manager as leads for security incidents. All events will have one Duty Operations Manager and one or two Control Officers, depending on the size of the event. These roles are billed at cost, and no profit is made

In regard to search teams, we do not count them toward overall deployment numbers, as they would not be able to respond to incidents within the event grounds while customers are entering. Search teams can become part of the overall security team once the gates close, or they can be stood down once entry has closed
