Event security, staffed and evidenced
Roster forty stewards for one Saturday, confirm every position is filled before doors, log incidents live, and invoice from real hours on the Monday.
Event work is the opposite of static guarding. The team triples for a weekend, half of them have never worked your sites before, positions must be confirmed before doors open, and the client expects a full incident report before you have finished packing down.
The two things that decide whether an event goes smoothly are knowing every position is actually filled, and capturing what happened while it is still happening.
What SMS-Patrol handles for you
The specific jobs that come up in events & venues work.
Scaling up for one date
Build a one-off roster for a specific event, assign positions, and publish to every steward's phone at once.
Pre-doors position check
See which positions have a steward clocked on and which are empty, in time to move somebody.
Zone and gate coverage
Checkpoints on gates, stands, exits and stairwells confirm that patrol positions are being held.
Live incident logging
Ejections, medical incidents and refusals logged with time, position and photo as they happen.
Steward safety

Events & venues — common questions
Yes. Add them as officers, roster them for the dates they work, and their hours are captured the same way as permanent staff. Guard headcount on your plan is what counts, so plan for your peak.
Their shift shows the venue, the position, the times and any briefing notes you attach — visible on their phone before they arrive.
Scans and reports queue on the device and sync when signal returns. For live coverage checks, venue wi-fi or a control room hotspot is worth arranging.
Yes — export the full event log as a PDF, including every incident with times, positions and photos.
