The importance of hiring security at a festival cannot be overstated. Take Telluride, for example: Colorado's favorite evening for enjoying bluegrass music, surrounded by smiling faces, and a sense of safety. It's a beautiful day and one that most people in Colorado look forward to yearly. But if you take out the security guards, then would you really be able to fully relax?


Probably not, and it's not because the world is filled with deviant people just waiting to wreak havoc, it's just because bad things often happen when people are not made to feel safe. It's sad but true that festival experiences -short time frames in which large groups of people merge together - can easily become bad experiences if left unchecked by a dedicated security team.


So what exactly does a security team provide at a festival?


1. Crowd control


At festival, security guards handle large groups of people. On the ground, crowd control is directing traffic, managing the flow of people so that space doesn't become congested, responding to conflicts, and anticipating the needs of a large body of people. This is far easier said than done and requires dedicated, experienced professionals to accomplish it.


These people are specifically trained to identify potentially aggressive situations from occurring by reading any seemingly dangerous signs that emerge from the people within the crowd. In many cases, the relaxed vibe of a space can be brought back to the security team and their ability to have remedied any untoward behavior and to have managed any aggressive people within the space.


2. Access points


Security guards that you see standing near the entrance or exists of a venue are called access point security guards. Typically, there are multiple access points to any venue-including the access points for staff, attendees, special guests, and performers.


Access point security guards will also monitor the spaces at restrooms, dressing rooms, stage access areas, and work stations like the bar or kitchen access point. These security guards keep the space clear and ensure that only the right people enter each area. These security guards are invaluable to the workability of a festival and are ensure the safety of all staff involved in a festival.


3. Security patrol


Security patrol is a great way to boost the level of safety felt by the public at an event. When you hire security patrol, their task is to show security presence, and to walk among the crowd and increase the security's visibility. If an event has a famous speaker, or if the crowd is known to become unruly at certain times, then hiring security patrol is an invaluable resource for all.


If you're organizing an upcoming festival and want a clear, safe space to be created for your staff, performers, and participants alike, the make sure you take the time to hire security teams who are ready to support your vision by offering safety to those who attend the event. And, above all else, remember to enjoy yourself.
