G4S ensures public order and general security pursuant to a security plan. The security plan is compiled with the customer and approved with the police prior to the event.

In addition to providing security, G4S offers the following:

• access control, through ticketing and security checks (including checks for hazardous items and substances)
• safekeeping and security service for property such as equipment, on-stage equipment
• perimeter security
• backstage or stage front securityspecial area security (VIP lounge, underage or alcohol sales areas)
• personal protection service for artists, performers and VIPs

The security team is led by a leader with experience. The head of security takes part in meetings called by the customer for discussing security issues. For major events, experienced segment directors are also part of the team; they coordinate services in a specific respective area of responsibility.

When you choose G4S, you ensure that your security complies with Estonian Security Act requirements that at least half of the security personnel used have security guard qualifications (Subsection 9 (3), that all of the security guards used are at least 21 years of age (Subsection 22 (1) and they have no prohibitions on working as a security guard (Subsection 23 (1). For more, consult the Security Act (Turvaseadus).

G4S’s security employees wear a standard uniform and are equipped with an official badge, communications device, pepper spray, handcuffs, rain cape and flashlight (torch).

If necessary, G4S patrol units are promptly summoned for backup. The police and/or Rescue Service are kept apprised of situations.

In Estonia, G4S has 75 patrol units in constant readiness, of which 32 are based in Tallinn and Harju County. The G4S patrol vehicles have GPS devices that allow locations, speeds and trajectories of cars to be tracked in real time. Thanks to its technology, the Alarm Response Centre has a full overview of which teams are available and engaged at any given moment. The members of the team are equipped with special equipment and communications devices (handcuffs, pepper spray, fire extinguishers, first aid supplies and tools for rescue operations) and have undergone in-service training on evacuation of people, first aid and behavioural psychology for use in extreme situations.
