Security For Events That Serve That Play Host to The Public

Security for events that serve the public and can also manage the risks when they attract the attention of political activists. The security risks from political activism, demonstrations, or picketing at events can compromise the safety of any large-scale event, whether it is a community fair, sports tournament, or musical festival. When protestors or political activists target your event, they could partake in far more than “peaceful protest” but also vandalize the venue itself, trespass, and clash with your guests. No event is immune to political demonstration, as everything from professional sporting games, concerts, music festivals, and large religious celebrations can receive unwanted attention from activist groups of all kinds.

Explore risk mitigation strategies designed specifically for large events facing security concerns and leverage a blend of security resources and intelligence to ensure the safety of all participants. Effective risk mitigation for large events calls for extensive planning, security resources, and unique tools that can monitor the whereabouts of political activists and help hosts respond accordingly. Never overlook the safety of your vendors and guests, and plan for absolutely anything including picketing and political demonstrations alongside AFIMAC Global.

Security Risks From Political Demonstrations at Sporting Events

While many professional sports teams maintain their own security forces, external and third-party risk mitigation can reveal issues and risks that are typically overlooked. The incredible experience that AFIMAC offers includes extensive time in law enforcement and the U.S. military, capable of offering a second opinion and risk analysis that can help clients prepare for political activism. 

Professional sporting events are a magnet for anyone who wants to showcase their political cause. Despite professional sports being non-political, they often draw the attention of individual bad actors or large groups of activist groups that see opportunity in the event itself. Picketing and large displays of political activists may appear calm and peaceful, but they could turn into something more violent and dangerous, ultimately putting the public at risk. 

These times call for a unique mix of intelligence gathering, private investigation, and risk mitigation planning that considers every possible outcome of political activists attempting to draw attention away from your next event. AFIMAC is unique in that not only as a company are we capable of dispatching security resources to your venue, but our private investigators can actively listen in on the online social conversations of political activists. With such intelligence in hand, hosts of large sporting events can adjust their security needs should activists be planning a demonstration.

Risk Management at Music Festivals and Concerts

Large-scale concerts, music festivals, and multi-day outdoor events play host to the public, sometimes with activist groups attempting to take center stage. Protests and picketing at the entrance of your event are very possible, but some highly motivated activists may attempt to disrupt musical performances and ruin the experience for all guests. Trespassing, vandalism, and hooliganism can harm the enjoyment of the event and have musical acts reconsidering whether or not they should visit your community again.

There are many ways that promoters and concert hosts can manage the risks of political activism. Explore physical security forces, access control systems, and risk mitigation strategies designed to keep all guests safe and help you have a plan in place when activism does arise. When the risks of a political demonstration are present, hosts can call upon AFIMAC to dispatch security resources to their location, anywhere in North America. 

The intelligence gathering tools from AFIMAC tap into the whereabouts of known political groups, helping you adjust your event when protests are planned. Keep all patrons safe and respect activist groups’ right to peacefully protest. Should something unfortunate occur, not only can AFIMAC security forces step in to keep guests safe, but they can also carefully document the actions of activists, helping you hold them accountable for their actions.

Considering Political Activism at Religious Festivals

Large religious festivals have unique security needs that always call for third-party consultation with risk mitigation specialists. There are endless reasons for political activists to target a large religious event, and organizers will need to consider tools that ensure every guest is kept safe, despite the possibility of heated political activism. Leverage AFIMAC to help you weigh the possibility of a large political demonstration disrupting your event, and use security resources that are experienced in such issues.
