CES Security St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick’s Day is a fun time to wear green and grab a drink with friends, but it results in a need for tighter security to handle rowdy customers and crowds.

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday that embodies fun and features extensive pub crawls. Wearing green and having a drink with friends can be an enjoyable time, but some celebrators take their fun too far. When the crowds start to get rowdy, it’s a good idea to have security around during St. Patrick’s Day.

Monitor Behavior

Security guards are trained to watch for abnormal behavior. It’s easy to tell when someone is extremely drunk, but it might be harder to identify those who are just drunk. A security guard can keep an eye on suspicious behavior and react faster if someone gets out of hand. They can also watch for anyone trying to take advantage of the crowds and noise level to commit crimes.

Secure Your Perimeter

Security vehicle patrol services can keep the immediate area around your business under control. They can monitor individuals, rowdy crowds, and street traffic while maintaining order. One of their most useful benefits is prevention. These security officers are your first line of defense, they can identify unwelcome guests and keep them from entering your business if their behavior is out of control. In addition, they protect other guests that are just outside your establishment from the more wild celebrators and monitor traffic for signs of drunk driving.

Have a Plan

You know your business better than anyone, so have a plan in place for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Make note of potential problem areas, and outline behaviors that won’t be tolerated. Make sure to share your plan with your security team to help them recognize problems right away and handle them in a manner that suits your needs.
