Before an event, security personnel assess the potential risks, such as overcrowding, medical emergencies, or protests. They create plans for managing these risks, which can include setting up barricades, determining emergency exits, and coordinating with local authorities.
Physical Barriers and Fencing
Crowd control often involves using physical barriers, such as barricades, fences, or railings, to channel people in specific directions, create designated areas, or control entry and exit points.
Access Control
Ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to certain areas through ticket checks, ID verification, and security screenings (like bag checks or metal detectors).
Crowd Monitoring
Security teams use cameras or personnel positioned at strategic locations to monitor the crowd’s behavior. This helps to identify and respond to any issues or potential threats (e.g., fights, overcrowding, or medical emergencies).
