Events cover a broad spectrum in terms of scale ranging from conferences, sporting and music events to company & private social events, such as weddings and private parties. At any type of event, various factors can cause security issues, such as alcohol and drugs, antisocial behaviour and violence, gatecrashers and ticket touts. In addition, people can behave in a variety of unpredictable ways which can cause additional problems for the organisers. Security at events is therefore essential to provide the capability to deter, detect and delay inappropriate behaviour by individuals or small groups that would undoubtedly spoil the enjoyment of the event by the majority of people attending.
