What event security is
Security your guests will barely notice
We provide close protection operatives for private events, whether your attendees need safeguarding or the profile of the event demands a far higher standard of security.
We deliver event security with fewer, more highly skilled people rather than sheer numbers. Operatives are chosen for their expertise, their communication and their ability to adapt.
86.5% of our team are former public service personnel. All work under signed NDAs, using covert communications and encrypted messaging where required, and planning is intelligence-led and layered, so every risk is covered while the event runs as its hosts intended.
What we provide
How BPS delivers event security
Less is more
For weddings and social occasions our Close Protection trained operatives integrate with guests, conversational and well presented, with discreet communications and careful positioning.
Fewer, better people means a smaller visible footprint and an event that feels like an event, not a security operation.
Close protection for guests
Dedicated protection for high-profile guests and attendees who need safeguarding, so they can attend safely and without unwanted attention.
Behavioural Detection Officers
Covert BDOs who identify concerns early and act before they escalate.
Covert teams
Operatives who blend in with guests, monitoring quietly without interrupting the flow of the event.
Protective surveillance
Low-profile teams who monitor and protect from the background, for the most sensitive occasions.
Asset protection
Safeguarding valuable assets and sensitive documents on the day, with planning and technology.
Specialist response teams
Including medics, protest mitigation operatives and handcuff trained personnel.
Client testimonials
In our clients' words
I recently used Brett and his team for a wedding reception and they were simply fantastic. A perfect blend of a personable manner and attentive security. I would highly recommend them!
“I hired three operatives at the beginning of June to run the security for a private lunch in which we had over £100 Million worth of cars that needed protecting. The team was extremely professional and took away so much stress from running the event. I couldn't recommend BPS more highly and I will definitely be using them again for all future events with my clients!”
Frequently asked questions
Questions about event security
If there is anything we have not covered, or you would like to talk about any part of event security, simply contact us.
Ask us a questionDo I need security for a small event?
A smaller event may not need extensive security, but any gathering involving high-value assets, confidential information or VIPs can benefit from professional security to keep guests safe and comfortable.
What is event security?
Event security is a planned approach to managing risk, including crowd control, emergency response planning and protection against potential threats.
How does your team handle emergencies?
Our team is trained in emergency response, including medical assistance, evacuation procedures and incident management, so any situation gets a quick and organised response. Our operatives are not a standard security provision.
Are you self-sufficient with radios, vehicles and equipment?
Completely. We have encrypted communication systems and access to multiple vehicles, including operative carriers and surveillance support vehicles with hides and cameras.
Do you provide security for large events?
Yes. We have provided security for large concert, convention and sporting venues, from surveillance and protest mitigation teams to specialist VIP and celebrity protection before, during and after the event.
What training do BPS security personnel have?
Our team includes professionals from military and law enforcement backgrounds, trained in current security techniques. Every team member is vetted to BS7858, signs a company NDA and trains continuously to a high standard. All operatives are SIA licensed, with medical qualifications on top.
