Sports have a tendency to bring people together. Avid fans and casual viewers alike gather into stadiums to cheer on their team all season long. Families get to take their kids out and introduce them to the world of fandom and hopefully instill an interest in the team. But even at family-friendly sporting venues, there is a need for security services.
Why You Should Have Security Guards at Sporting Events
Large sports venues have seating for thousands of people at a time. Putting that many people together in one place will require some organization and precautions.
Security services at sporting events can be especially useful for controlling unruly fans. These fans can get a little rowdy inside the stadium as well as outside, especially during rivalry games or playoff season. No matter the outcome of the game, there’s always the chance that one fan will get the best of another, and violence could break out. Alcohol can exacerbate these situations and lead fans to let their passion for the team get the best of them.
Benefits of Hiring Security Professionals
Expert security guards will have the ability to both break up fights when they occur and to employ techniques to de-escalate verbal arguments before physical altercations can occur.
Our security officers are active/former members of law enforcement or the military and sometimes even both. Each has passed rigorous training exercises, including the use of verbal judo/de-escalation communication techniques. These techniques can be employed in a number of situations, one of which is breaking up an argument between two sports fans that could lead to a fight. Prevention is always preferable to direct action in these situations.
If a brawl breaks out, our guards are trained in the use of force, FBI arrest techniques and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Any offender will be promptly neutralized, cuffed and taken to the nearest law enforcement officer.
