Threat assessment
Our risk analysis isn’t just about identifying threats; it’s about designing a security plan that starts with a solid perimeter. We analyze and reinforce every potential weak spot with cutting-edge technology and strategic planning. Our non-biased security consulting involves thorough risk analysis to identify possible vulnerabilities. We provide clear, actionable insights to enhance the security of your events.
The Advance
An effective security plan starts with comprehensive advance planning. Collaborating closely with your event team during the early planning stages is essential to ensure that all aspects of the festival are aligned with appropriate security measures. By prioritizing thorough preparation, we can significantly enhance the safety and success of the event, thereby minimizing potential risks.
Developing RFPs and Selecting Peer Security Firms
With 25 years of experience in the mass gathering and special event industry, KES has collaborated with many of North America's leading event staffing firms. Our approach includes issuing detailed Request for Proposals (RFPs) to identify and select the most suitable firms that align with your specific event requirements.
Development of Emergency Operation Plans for Multiple Scenarios
Event planners are provided with a comprehensive written security plan that details the various measures to be implemented at the festival. This plan encompasses emergency protocols for multiple scenarios, including extreme weather conditions, demonstrations, illegal substances and weapons, and potential political risks.
Tabletop Exercises (TTX)
Tabletop Exercises is a discussion-based session that helps prepare teams for emergencies, disasters, or crises. It is used to test and enforce processes that will be followed during an emergency, identifying gaps to be corrected before an incident that could occur during a planned event.
Analysis of manpower needs
Festival promoters can call on KES to assist in determining exactly what type and number of workers are needed for the festival. We will assess factors such as the site, number of fans, nature of performances, local law enforcement, history of festival to determine the needs for a safe festival.
Review of Staffing Plans and Analysis of Manpower Needs
The effectiveness of a festival hinges on having the right personnel positioned at crucial times. With our in-depth knowledge of festival operations, we can accurately identify the necessary security staffing, including timing, location, and the number of staff required. Our team leverages advanced technology such as drones, firearms detection K9s, mounted horse patrols, and CCTV to effectively monitor and secure the event boundaries, ensuring that entry is controlled and only individuals with valid credentials gain access.
KES will determine the exact type and number of staff needed and assess factors such as the size of the site, ticket sales, nature of performances, demographics, and local law enforcement.

KES has a proven history of effectively integrating private security with public law enforcement. The success of large-scale events is mainly contingent on the collaboration between various security and law enforcement agencies.

We will ensure that these staffing companies possess the necessary experience, training, licensing, insurance, and the appropriate skill levels required to maintain a safe environment at your mass gathering.
Consultation on People, Package, and Vehicular Screening
