Professional Service
What Our Guards Do
Every officer TMS Protection deploys is directly employed, vetted to BS 7858 and trained in security and customer service. Here is exactly what that means on the ground.
Initial Consultation
We listen before we plan.
Read more
TMS begins every event security plan with an initial consultation, giving us a clear understanding of your event, your venue, expected attendance and any known risks or concerns. We speak with you or your event organiser to understand how the event will operate, where pressure points may occur and what level of support is required. This ensures the security plan is based on real event conditions, not assumptions, so the right measures can be put in place from the start.
Risk Assessment
Planned around real event risks.
Read more
A senior TMS manager carries out a full site or venue risk assessment to identify the risks, pressure points and operational requirements of your event. This assessment helps determine the right security plan, staffing levels, officer positions and response procedures, ensuring the deployment is proportionate to the venue, attendance and nature of the event. Nothing is assumed; the plan is built around the conditions on site and the level of protection needed to keep the event safe, controlled and well managed.
Bespoke Security Plan
A clear plan for controlled delivery.
Read more
TMS produces a bespoke security plan tailored to your event, venue and operational requirements. This covers staffing levels, deployment positions, communication protocols, emergency procedures and key liaison contacts, including police and licensing authorities where required. The plan gives everyone a clear understanding of how security will be managed on the day, who is responsible for each area and how incidents or changes will be escalated, helping your event run safely, smoothly and with proper control.
Briefing & Deployment
Every officer briefed before arrival.
Read more
Before the event begins, all TMS officers receive a contract-specific briefing so they understand the venue, event plan, deployment positions and expected responsibilities. Escalation procedures, communication channels and key points of contact are confirmed in advance, ensuring officers know how to respond if an incident, crowd issue or operational change occurs. This helps create a controlled deployment from the start, with every officer working to the same plan and every responsibility clearly understood.
On-the-Day Monitoring
Live oversight throughout the event.
Read more
On the day of your event, TMS provides live operational oversight through our 24/7 control room, with activity monitored in real time via SmartTask and live body worn camera feeds where required. Supervisors carry out both announced and unannounced checks throughout the deployment, helping ensure officers remain in position, standards are maintained and any issues are escalated quickly. This gives your event a managed security presence with clear accountability, real-time visibility and support available throughout.
Post-Event Debrief
Clear reporting after the event.
Read more
After the event, TMS provides a full incident log and post-event report, giving you a clear record of what happened, how incidents were managed and what actions were taken. Any recommendations for future events are documented and shared with you, helping improve planning, staffing and operational control for future deployments. This ensures the event does not simply end when the last officer leaves; you receive useful feedback, accountable reporting and practical insight that can support better decision-making next time.
SIA Accreditation
What It Means
TMS Protection gives clients two layers of reassurance: company-level SIA Approved Contractor status and individually licensed officers deployed to site.
You are not simply booking a guard. You are working with a security provider that is assessed, checked and structured for compliant delivery.
SIA Approved
Held at organisation level. Every deployed officer also holds a current SIA Licence.
Ongoing Checks
Licences verified weekly against the SIA watchlist.
Read More
Individual licences are verified weekly against the SIA watchlist. Annual DBS checks and internal compliance reviews maintain standards throughout the life of the contract.
Licensed Officers
Every guard deployed holds a current SIA Licence for their role.
Read More
An SIA Licence is held by the individual officer. Every guard TMS Protection deploys holds a current licence, issued after criminal record checks and role-specific training — held by the officer, not the company.
Approved Contractor
Company-level status confirming recognised standards for vetting, training and delivery.
Read More
SIA Approved Contractor status is held by TMS Protection as an organisation. It confirms the business meets the Security Industry Authority’s standards for management, recruitment, training, vetting and operational delivery.
FAQ
Event Security FAQs
Are your event security staff SIA licensed?
Yes. You get two layers of reassurance: TMS Protection holds SIA Approved Contractor status at company level, and every officer we deploy holds a current SIA Licence for their role. Licences are verified weekly against the SIA watchlist, and all staff are directly employed and vetted to BS 7858.
Which areas do you cover for event security?
Our event teams operate across Kent, London and the South, from community festivals and council events through to large-scale concerts and corporate functions.
What does CSAS mean for my event?
CSAS stands for Community Safety Accreditation Scheme. It gives accredited officers a set of designated police powers, which is particularly useful on public events involving road closures, traffic management and street-based crowd control. It means more can be handled on site without waiting for police attendance.
How does the process work from enquiry to event day?
Six stages. We start with an initial consultation to understand your event, carry out a risk assessment, then build a bespoke security plan. Every officer is briefed before arrival, the event is monitored live on the day through our 24/7 control room, and you receive a clear post-event debrief and report.
Do you help with event planning and risk assessments?
Yes. We work with you or your event organiser from the planning stage through to post-event debrief. That includes the risk assessment, the security plan, and making sure the correct number of SIA licensed officers and trained event stewards are in place before the first attendee arrives.
What types of events do you cover?
We cover music festivals and concerts, sporting events and fixtures, council and community events, conferences and functions, private parties and celebrations, public parades and ceremonies, and outdoor markets and fairs. If your event is not on that list, get in touch. The chances are we have covered something similar.
