How we work in this sector
Event and venue security is a specialism. Our officers deployed to stadiums and event venues have experience in crowd management, search procedures, conflict resolution and emergency response. We work alongside your event management team, local police and other emergency services in the planning phase — not just on the night — to ensure the security operation is joined up from the outset. Martyn's Law compliance is embedded in our event planning approach.
Pre-event planning meetings, detailed deployment plans, named event security managers and post-event debriefs ensure every event is covered properly and lessons are captured for next time.
SPS provides event and venue security across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Our Hull base gives us strong coverage across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with teams deployable across South and West Yorkshire for larger events.
