This document discusses crowd management for events. It notes that poor crowd management can lead to dangerous situations like stampedes due to underestimating crowd size, overselling tickets, limited exits, and lack of traffic control. Effective crowd management systems help analyze crowd flow, ensure proper signage and exits, use public announcements, and limit crowd density. Crowd management is important for many types of events and involves full security consultation, on-site guards, and response teams. Tactics discussed include using body cameras, vehicle checks, drug dogs, and CCTV. The document also describes providing specialized tactical aid and close protection services.
