Course Overview
Guard force performance on sports and entertainment event security reflects supervision, not instruction. Security arrangements around event security are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Organisations that document the corporate security practice discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The course gives participants a defensible structure for sports and entertainment event security and the judgement to adapt it. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this area of corporate security practice before they become incidents. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for event security, not for observers of it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about sports and entertainment event security in their own setting. What blocks progress on event security is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme closes with an action plan for the corporate security practice capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
