This incident took the lives of 49 people and caused 59 people to be wounded.

How to Protect Concert Goers and Nightclub Patrons

Concert promoters and nightclub owners have to figure out how to protect their guests, otherwise, they might go out of business. No person wants to go out and have fun at a concert or club just to end up dead. So, the following security measures have to be utilized for protection in theses venues.

One way that concertgoers can be protected is by hiring a professional security team to monitor the event. Fast Guard Service Concert Security Company is one type of organization that has the ability to provide protection against potential threats. They can monitor a concert area or nightclub to mitigate any problems that might occur.


Hiring professional law enforcement personnel to work an event is also strongly recommended. Professional law enforcement personnel such as local police officers or highway patrolmen are best suited to protect events. They have the training, resources and experience to ensure the safety of large crowds. Promoters and club owners that decide to use their services should utilize a mix of uniformed and plain clothes officers.

Private security companies with experience can be hired as well. These individuals are usually made up of former military and/or police personnel. Professional security teams can use their training and resources to ensure that an event is safe. Clubs and concerts can also use layered security plans such as bag searching processes, pat down and using scanners and checkpoints at entrance and exit points. Taking these steps can help music events and weekly outings more secure for everyone.
