BE MOBILE FRANCISTOWN MARATHON

Introduction

The writer is focusing more on security at the be-mobile marathon which was held at Francistown stadium. The mission of venue security is to provide a safe and secure environment for main event venues. Due to the high-profile nature and mass media consideration of large-scale security events, law must be put into practice and ready to respond to terrorist threats or attacks (Giovachiono, 2013). The security was at high level because the police officers were all over the stadium to manage the crowd. The security guards and their dogs were also there to assist the police officers.

The Event Security Officer should develop the security plan based on a risk assessment of the event.  As details of the event become perfect and preparations for the event develop, the plan will change and take into account matters including, but not limited to, the suitable level of security for the event, the duration, location and also the size of the event (Attorney-General’s Department 2011). There were nine (9) water stations and all of them had a tight security, reason being that there were far from the stadium where the event was held.

According to the Aukland City Council (2008) the security plan needs to be advanced in combining with the event planning process. It is not formed in isolation and delivered to the event manager but must be developed under the clear direction for the event manager to take identified risks in to consideration, budget constraints and most importantly the minimum requirements for events.
