In the wake of the November 2015 attacks in Paris and the March bombings in Brussels, events planners face new questions about keeping people safe in large gatherings. 

Planners who were simply looking for a few unarmed uniformed guards in past years must now determine whether the festive event they are producing has the potential for becoming a target. How do you decide whether upgrading your security to include advanced features such as a K-9 Bomb Detection Unit is appropriate? 

Finding a special event security services company with the appropriate track record of success, customer satisfaction and security innovation is your first step. 

Our company, GSS Security Services, launched in order to serve the hotel, special event and entertainment industries. We are here to help you determine the best strategy for every event you plan. As we have grown and satisfied the security needs and requirements of more companies in different sectors, we have not forgotten our original focus. The original crew of 20 full and part-time employees dedicated themselves to the security of two clients in New York City. 

Over time, GSS Security Services grew to offer the skilled services of over 250 full and part-time employees to our clients. Our core clientele still include events planners and producers, along with hotel and entertainment companies who often work in collaboration. We now provide security services nationally and internationally. 

Post 9-11 security is familiar, but post-Paris and post-Brussels vigilance is on another order. Gatherings of people at concerts, sports venues, and outside security perimeters have become the new terror target of choice, while everyday concerns of unruly festival participants or gate-crashers persist, and require swift, respectful resolutions.  We offer a growing variety of available services, tailored to the vast variety of events, situations and attendees. 

Of all the facts we can give you about the need for a strategic view of security at your gatherings, the most important thing we can tell you is our own history.  It is your best introduction to our dedication and effectiveness.  Please get in touch with us early, whether before or after you choose your venue, so we can talk about the appropriate scope for securing your special event.
