Questions answered
Event Security FAQs
Straight answers to what Houston property owners, boards, and managers ask us most.
How many security guards do I need for my event?
A common planning baseline is one officer per 75 to 100 attendees, adjusted for alcohol service, ticketing, cash handling, entry count, and VIP presence. We give you a written staffing recommendation for your specific venue rather than a generic ratio.
Do you provide armed officers or off-duty police for events?
Yes. High-liability or high-profile events can be staffed with Level III armed officers or commissioned off-duty peace officers, coordinated with their agency.
How far in advance should I book event security in Houston?
Two weeks or more gives us time for a site walk and staffing plan. Short-notice events are often still possible — call dispatch and we will confirm availability quickly.
