Credentialed officers for private events, venues, festivals, and corporate activations across Tennessee and Mississippi. Scalable five to five-hundred officers per event — written plan on day one, supervisor on-scene every night.
Every event we staff hits the same four problems — in different ratios, at different intensities, but always all four. The plan you see before the event tells you which officer is handling which category, where, and what they're authorized to do when it goes sideways.
Directional guests through ingress, standing-room choke points, dance-floor pulse, and egress at last call. We run guest-facing officers at a one-per-hundred baseline and re-stage mid-event when the center of gravity shifts.
Magnetometer plus AI-assisted bag scan as the default posture, with wand-and-visual for intimate venues. Two screeners, one divest attendant, one supervisor pulling secondary — scaled per lane to guest volume.
Plainclothes or uniformed protection for talent, dignitaries, and high-net-worth guests. Drawn from our EP bench, carrying concealed under TN Armed Reg., and tethered to the event dispatch channel for principal-state updates.
Capacity monitoring against the fire marshal's posted occupancy, alcohol-service enforcement, ABC-licence observation, and credentialed escort of PD and FD if they show up mid-event. One supervisor owns the muni-liaison channel.
From the 72-hour site walk through to the signed post-event report delivered the next business day, every event we staff runs through the same six-stage framework. No improvisation, no "we'll figure it out on the night." The plan is written, the officers are briefed, and the supervisor is on-scene.
A senior supervisor walks the venue 72 hours before doors, photographs every ingress/egress, checks fire-marshal posted capacity, notes the sight-lines, counts outlets for wand chargers, and flags anything that needs venue work-order before opening night.
Every officer on the detail attends a 45-minute live briefing the day before the event — post assignments, radio channels, medical plan, evacuation route, the talent list, the venue map, the code words for "principal moving" and "weapon recovered."
The entry posture goes up two hours before doors — magnetometer calibrated, bag-scan software patched, wand batteries fresh, divest-tables and throwaway bins positioned. A two-lane dry run clears any throughput issue before a single guest arrives.
Our event supervisor runs the incident-command post — typically front-of-house or a dedicated command room — with radio oversight of every channel, a live event-log on a ruggedised laptop, and direct line to Memphis dispatch. No incident closes without her sign-off.
One named officer — typically a former MPD or sheriff's deputy — is the single point of contact for any uniformed PD, sheriff's deputy, or fire-marshal walk-through. Shows credentials, walks them through posted capacity, escorts them out. No venue staff engage directly.
Signed written report on the client's desk within 24 hours. Headcount by hour, incidents and resolutions, ejections with reasons, medical assists, property recovered, weapons logged, recommendations for the next occurrence. Retained under NDA on the client portal.
Six event categories, each drawing from a specialised officer bench. We've worked the perimeter at FedExForum and Graceland, rolled details on Broadway and Music Row, staffed corporate offsites from Chattanooga to the Gulf Coast casinos. Here is the bench we pull from for each.
Ticketed shows from 500-cap clubs to 17,000-seat arenas. Perimeter, pit, back-of-house, and talent-runner coverage with FOH supervisor on IEM to venue production.
Home events, estate functions, milestone birthdays, and private-club bookings. Typically mixed uniform and plainclothes, vehicle-credential at the gate, discreet perimeter through the grounds.
Product launches, brand activations, shareholder meetings, leadership offsites, and trade-show booths. Credentialing desks, badge scanners, VIP hospitality rings, and anti-poaching perimeter at exhibitor booths.
Multi-day festivals running a full crowd-management program — perimeter fencing inspection, camping-zone night patrol, stage-barrier rotations, medical-tent escort, and lost-and-found command. Typical bench 40–120 officers.
Campaign rallies, fundraisers, town halls, and protected-delegate travel. Plainclothes agents from the EP bench, uniformed perimeter, press-pen supervision, and sweep-before-seat protocol coordinated with USSS or state-security advance if federally protected.
Weddings where the host or guest list includes public figures, executives, or anyone with standing threat concerns. Gate-credentialing, guest-list enforcement, anti-paparazzi perimeter, and a plainclothes inner ring that reads as floor staff — not security.
The eight questions that come up on almost every initial event call, answered in the same level of detail we'd give you on a site walk. If there's a question here that isn't answered yet, dispatch is on the phone live any hour at (202) 222-2225.
For standard events we ask for a 14-day lead, which lets us run the 72-hour site walk, pull the right uniform mix, and confirm state-licensed officers against the roster. We will accept 72-hour turnarounds on smaller details and have stood up 50-officer events inside that window when the venue is already on our list. Anything over 200 officers or multi-day festival coverage should be booked 30–60 days ahead so we can lock supervisors and request the municipal permits our PD liaison needs countersigned.
Yes. Our standard entry package is walk-through magnetometer plus AI-assisted bag scan, run by two screeners, a divest-table attendant, and a supervisor pulling secondary. Throughput averages 350–500 guests per lane per hour depending on bag policy. We also carry handheld wands for smaller venues and can run a mixed posture where high-risk zones get the magnetometer and low-risk guest paths get a wand-and-visual. Equipment is owned, serviced, and calibrated in-house — no rental surcharges on the invoice.
We can. Tennessee and Mississippi are permissive-carry states, so the default policy is posted at the entry point and officers enforce the venue's rules — either weapons-prohibited with a visible posting under TCA § 39-17-1359, weapons-permitted with a verification process, or weapons-checked-at-the-door with a numbered claim system. We build the policy into the written event plan and train the screening line on what to do if a firearm is detected: verify permit, escort to check station, or request the carrier to leave the premises with their firearm.
Two officers for four hours is the floor, which covers an intimate home event, a 75-guest cocktail reception, or a small corporate dinner. Below that we suggest a single unarmed officer for front-door duty, which is priced separately under our standing-post discipline. For ticketed events of any kind we staff to an officer-per-100-attendees ratio as a baseline and adjust up based on alcohol service, venue geometry, and the threat profile surfaced during the site walk.
Yes — red-carpet details are a weekly engagement for us, particularly during award season and album-release cycles in Memphis and Nashville. We provide rope-line officers, choke-point agents, photographer-pen supervisors, and talent-runner buffers, typically run under our executive-protection division rather than standing event security so we get the federal-background agents in the inner ring. NDA coverage is standard on VIP work and no client name ever appears in marketing — ever.
Our supervisor is the single point of contact for the fire marshal on the day of the event, and our written plan references the posted occupancy for each room, entry, and egress route. We run a headcount at every door during ingress, pause admission at 95% of capacity to give the marshal a buffer, and close entry entirely at posted capacity. If the event is permitted, we carry a copy of the permit on-scene for any walk-through inspection — and our liaison officer (typically a retired MPD or county-SO deputy) handles the conversation in the language the marshal expects to hear.
Our $5M general liability covers officer conduct, vehicle incidents, and third-party claims arising from our work. For the event itself — liquor liability, participant injury, vendor indemnity — you'll want a dedicated special-event policy, which we can recommend brokers for. We are happy to be named as additional insured on the client's event policy and will furnish a COI naming the venue, the host, or the promoter within two business hours of request. Certificates route through our COO's desk directly, not through a third-party broker.
Yes. A plainclothes or suit-and-earpiece detail is standard on VIP-only functions and on events where the host doesn't want visible uniformed security on the floor. Our plainclothes officers are drawn from the executive-protection bench, carry concealed under TN Armed Reg., and run tethered radio through a hidden lapel mic. We can mix postures — uniformed at the perimeter, plainclothes inside — and that hybrid model is the most common ask for weddings and private galas with recognizable attendees. The goal is that nobody in the room knows the detail is there.
A senior event supervisor will walk your venue, pull the occupancy load, review the run-of-show, and deliver a signed written event-security plan within seven business days. No cost, no pitch, no pressure. Just the plan you would show the fire marshal tomorrow.
