County, CA)
• The Observatory (Santa Ana, CA)
• Boots in the Park (Fresno, CA)
• The Kia Forum (Inglewood, CA)
In addition, CSC services 7 NFL teams, 6 NHL teams, 5 MLB clubs, 4 MLS clubs, and 4 NBA teams.
CSC has extensive experience performing screening services utilizing metal detection devices.
Nationally, CSC annually screens over 60 million guests and employees at major venues and events including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, several MLS and NCAA clients, golf tournaments, festivals, and many other entertainment events. These services extended to numerous Super Bowls, which have been designated as a National Special Security Event (NSSE). This is an event of national or international significance deemed by the Department of Homeland Security to be a potential target for terrorism and therefore requires an enhanced degree of scrutiny on security procedures.

B Services Provided
A description of proposed services to be provided and how they meet the needs of the City as described in Exhibit I - Scope of Services.
RESPONSE:RESPONSE: CSC has more than 50 years of experience in the security, guest services, and crowd management industry. This experience allows CSC to provide highly trained and skilled personnel for any requirements as listed in Exhibit I - Scope of Services.
In addition when needed, CSC Orange County can receive support, both staff and logistical resources, from other CSC branches including San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Since CSC training is standardized throughout the company, outside staff integrate seamlessly with staff from the local office.
As shown below, the City of Santa Ana can be assured that your events will be filled with well- trained, highly knowledge staff that are familiar with your policies and procedures as well as your management team.
Staffing & Workforce – Building the Team
Solid plans and effective management are im -
portant, but it is the Event Services workforce
that reflects the capabilities, culture and level of
commitment of the entire organization. It is for
this reason that CSC places such a strong em -
phasis on the recruitment, administration, train -
ing and support of this large group of personnel.
Recruitment & Selection
Focuses on managing and coordinating the pro-
cesses to identify, attract, select, and assign labor
to the various positions in the Security Services
operation.
• Recruitment – Being a large user of paid
hourly staff, CSC’s involvement would be -
gin at the planning stages to ensure prop-
er coordination and development of la -
bor sources, applicant data management,
screening processes, placement proce-
dure, candidate communication and re -
tention.
• Staff Selection – Strategy and process to
select staff from the identified pool. This
process may be a mix of individual inter -
views, group interviews, data analysis or
recommendations from a third party (e.g.,
seconded positions)
Staff Demand Analysis
• Working closely with management, this
function involves determining the optimal
size of the Event Services workforce across
all areas of the event.
• Staff Estimation – Combining predeter -
mined scope, staffing standards (Staff to
Supervision ratios of 10 to 1 – relevant to
area of responsibility) and base venue as -
sumptions to review current staff demand
and budget estimates
• Peak Headcount Dot Plans – Using staffing
standards and site analysis review to de -
termine the peak number of staff required
in each venue. These plans will be tailored
to each phase of the operation and type
of shift.
• Shift Strategies and Staff Pooling – Using
venue schedules and dot plans to create
blank schedules, taking into consideration
the optimal way to structure shifts, super -
vise groups and redeploy personnel across
all Event Services duties. This process will
refine the staff estimations and maximize
the utilization of the workforce.
Staff Scheduling
This process involves the merging of the staff de-
mand and staff supply efforts.
• Schedule Building – Utilizes the staff
demand that has been previously deter-
mined
• Workforce Availability – Confirming the
availability of the workforce for specific
shifts
• Rostering – Assigns staff to shifts, creat-
ing individual work rosters. This process is
reliant on a computer-based scheduling
system provided by CSC/ProtaTECH.
This item contains and consists of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Contemporary Services Corporation and is not to be reproduced, copied, or used without its express written permission. 6 • Roster Change Management – The ongo-
ing management of changes to the initial
rosters. It is not uncommon to average
one change per individual.
The following describes CSC’s approach to orga -
nizing and delivering Event Services. Operations
Management drives the detailed planning and
delivery of Event Services across the entire event
project, with a particular emphasis on efficacy
and consistency.
These are key processes and outputs of this effort:
Operations Management Meetings
• Regular meetings with other departments
and management, in accordance with
operating structures.
Event Timelines & Schedules Coordination
• Coordination of Phases of Operations
• Coordination of Daily Run Sheet
preparation & Integrated Daily Run Sheet
• Coordination of Venue Timeline (Day by
Day Schedule)
Planning Analysis
• Review of Venue Plans for Event Services &
related departments
• Review of other departmental plans
connected to the Event Services role
• Review of policies and procedures. Special
attention on site access and spectator
restricted actions.
Operational Documentation
• Event Operations Plans and Operational
Worksheets
• Policies & Procedures
• Event-time Reporting & Briefing
Documentation
• Post-Event Evaluation Reports
Other Projects related to Event Services
Operations
• Contingency Planning
• Coordination of Security Services duties
related to Venue Emergency Response
Plans
• Event Services Communication
involvement & reporting
CSC employs a number of strategies and processes
to ensure effective operations and achieve high
levels of service to customers and stakeholders,
including:
Daily Staff Briefings
• Staff are briefed at every shift on the most
up-to-date venue information, relating
to a variety of issues including weather,
transport, crowd numbers and changes to
post instructions.
Post Prioritization
• Post Prioritization plans, which were devel-
oped during the planning phase, are imple-
mented to ensure staff is suitably allocated
to cover the venue needs on any particular
shift.
Redeployment and Post Rotation
• Staff retention is critical; rotation and re -
deployment are built into the plan to keep
staff interested in their role.
Field Support Operations
The Field Support Team handles a myriad of
needs and helps keep staff motivated. Their
tasks include:
• Distribution of documents, maps and
reports for staff
• Distribution of equipment and supplies to
team members
• Paid staff sign in and sign out
• Deployment of personnel into operational
teams and positions on site
Event Debriefing
• Event debriefing sessions are conducted to
maintain regular feedback loops and con -
stantly improve operations during event-
time.

R. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS
The City has permanent ownership of all directly connected and derivative materials produced under this contract by the Contractor.

Notwithstanding this provision, however, City acknowledges and agrees that materials, reports, and other documentation of any kind generated with the ordinary course and scope of CSC’ s business operations (including but not limited to event file documentation, incident reports, personnel files, etc.), and communications and documents are subject to attorney-client privilege and attorney work product privileges and are not subject to disclosure.

CSC respectfully requests that the language above be added to this provision, to ensure that documentation prepared in the ordinary course and scope of its business operations remain its business records.

Further, CSC reserves to the right to exclude protected as trade secrets under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and the California Uniform Trade Secret Acts (Cal. Civil Code § 3426- 3426.11) as these documents were developed through the years of investment by CSC to create and maintain policies and procedures that are the industry standard and for which other companies would need years of time and dedicated financial resources to duplicate.

See explanation directly above.
6. INSURANCE
* * * *
Additional Insured Status
The City, its officers, officials, and employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations and subject and limited to the indemnification obligations of the Agreement. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 11 85 or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).
Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this contract, the Contractor’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials and employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials or employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
CSC respectfully requests the foregoing changes. CSC’ s insurer requires that any agreement to list other parties as additional insured on CSC’ s policies must be subject to the indemnification provisions of that agreement. Further, CSC does not additional insure volunteers.
* * * *
Waiver of Subrogation
Contractor hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Contractor agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.
CSC is not able to waive subrogation as to its worker’ s compensation policy under the terms of its current policy coverages.
Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Contractor to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.
CSC insurance policies are structured with self-insured retentions and deductibles: workers comp- deductible $500,000; general liability- SIR $250,000; professional- SIR $250K. 9 This item contains and consists of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Contemporary Services Corporation and is not to be reproduced, copied, or used without its express written permission. * * * *

7. INDEMNIFICATION
Consultant agrees to defend, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees, contractors, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the sole negligent operations of the Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons acting on its behalf which relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2) from any claim that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief is due by reason of the terms of or effects arising from this Agreement. Consultant shall not indemnify, defend or hold harmless the City from and against any liability, cost or expense arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or the independent acts of third parties not affiliated with Consultant. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement applies to all claims for damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief suffered, or alleged to have been suffered, by reason of the events referred to in this Section or by reason of the terms of, or effects, arising from this Agreement. The Consultant further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including reasonable fees and costs for special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party challenging the validity of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by reason of the terms of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable decisions with respect to its representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor’s services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor.
CSC respectfully requests the foregoing changes. CSC believes that indemnification should be tied to a level of culpable conduct for which CSC should, in fairness, be held responsible. CSC should not be responsible for the sole negligence or willful misconduct on the part of third parties that are not associated with CSC.

9. RECORDS
Consultant shall keep records and invoices in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to the costs incurred under this Agreement and any services, expenditures, and disbursements charged to the City for a minimum period of three (3) years, or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to Consultant under this Agreement. All such records and invoices shall be clearly identifiable.

Consultant shall allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings, and activities related to this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Consultant under this Agreement..
Notwithstanding this provision, however, City acknowledges and agrees that materials, reports, and other documentation of any kind generated with the ordinary course and scope of CSC’ s business operations (including but not limited to event file documentation, incident reports, personnel files, etc.), and communications and documents are subject to attorney-client privilege and attorney work product privileges and are not subject to disclosure.

RESPONSE:RESPONSE: Contemporary Services Corpora-
tion (CSC) is recognized worldwide as the pio -
neer and expert in the crowd management field.
CSC developed the concept of peer group secu-
rity techniques, and through over five decades
of continual refinement and evolution, CSC has
successfully remained the leader in the crowd
management and event security industry.
CSC has a history of delivering exceptional ser -
vices for events and venues from as small as one
guest to multi-day events hosting hundreds of
thousands. This broad experience has enabled
CSC to build a knowledgeable group of profes -
sionals with expertise in every crowd manage -
ment application. In addition, CSC’s internation-
al network of managers and experts allows for
an interactive flow of knowledge and resources
to each client.
Experience
CSC has delivered services for every type of
entertainment and sporting event, including
34 Super Bowls, 9 World Series, 4 MLB All-Star
Games, 10 NCAA Men’s Final Four, 5 annual
College Bowl Games, 4 NHL Finals, 8 NBA Finals,
10 Olympic Games, 5 Presidential Inaugurations,
4 Papal Visits, and 2 FIFA World Cups.
Other relevant experience includes:
• Formula 1 Grand Prix
• PGA Championship
• New York City Marathon
• Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
CSC also handles and manages some of the
largest concert tours in the nation including U2,
Tim McGraw, Rihanna, The Rolling Stones, Jay-Z
and Beyoncé, Guns N’ Roses, and Taylor Swift.
CSC’s team of experienced managers effectively
recruit, vet, hire, and train ambassadors who will
represent both you and your venue and event in
a professional manner.
Its management team, corporate infrastructure,
support, training, and quality supervision are
what set CSC apart from other crowd manage -
ment companies. CSC has found that investing
its revenue and resources back into clients’ pro-
grams assures long-term success over short-term
profits. Success is based on the continual focus
of quality and innovation within the following
four key areas: knowledgeable and experienced
management, high quality workforce, world-
class training, and cutting-edge technology.
CSC’s investment in systems, tools, and person -
nel come together in a service designed to meet
the needs of each client.
Employee Owned Company
In January 2019, CSC became an ESOP (Em -
ployee Stock Ownership Plan). Being part of an
ESOP company can provide unique rewards for
employees. Participants in the plan can receive
significant retirement benefits at no monetary
cost to them. Research also shows ESOP compa-
nies are more productive, faster growing, more
profitable, and have lower turnover. In addition,
an ESOP is a great way to enhance the compa -
ny’s ability to recruit and retain their workforce.
Workforce
Continual and forecasted recruitment, training,
& execution of crowd management services
for venues and events is the core competency
of CSC. To accomplish this, we have aggressive -
ly honed our recruiting. We have made heavy
investment in technology to improve our online
Hiring Portal, creating a true paperless environ -
ment and streamlining the onboarding process
.
With its existing team of outstanding event man-
agers, as well as targeted workforce recruitment
and selection, CSC continually has access to the
most qualified event staff available. These out -
standing team members will ultimately be re -
sponsible for contributing to the safety of your
venue as well ensuring that every guest has an
enjoyable event experience.
Training
CSC’s event knowledge and expertise is dissem -
inated to its staff through world-class training
solutions. To ensure that team members are

11 This item contains and consists of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Contemporary Services Corporation and is not to be reproduced, copied, or used without its express written permission. prepared for any situation, all trainings are con-
tinually refined and focused to meet both client
and guest expectations. All CSC staff members
undergo an extensive orientation and receive
ongoing training throughout the course of em -
ployment. Guest services programs are also con-
tinually updated in response to industry needs,
and CSC has received high grades from secret
shoppers, NBA Audits, and NFL “best practices”
personnel at facilities across the country. Addi -
tionally, CSC has improved its practices through
the development of training materials for multi -
ple Olympic Games.
Occupational Health & Safety
CSC maintains a full time operation to guide
employees in identifying and correcting work-
place issues before they cause an illness or inju -
ry. Its goal is to be proactive in nature to ensure
workplace safety, and reduce hazards. Routine
training and Best Practices provides CSC with
the tools needed to maintain a safe working en -
vironment and an efficient response if an illness
or injury occurs in the workplace.
Qualifications
As events become more high profile and com -
plex, it is imperative to partner with a crowd
management and event security firm who will
not only meet your particular requirements, but
who will also be a strategic partner to help man-
age and reduce your risks. CSC received “Des -
ignation” and “Certification” under the U.S. De-
partment of Homeland Security’s SAFETY Act
(Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective
Technologies Act). More information on CSC’s
SAFETY Act and what it means to the City of
Santa Ana can be found under the SAFETY Act
section.
Local Operation
CSC’s Orange County branch has a robust staff -
ing base, consisting of 8 full-time employees and
over 650 part-time employees who can assist
with the City of Santa Ana agreement.
This item contains and consists of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Contemporary Services Corporation and is not to be reproduced, copied, or used without its express written permission. 12 As events become increasingly more high-pro -
file, deterrence and defense against potential
acts of terrorism require well-trained and man -
aged personnel to implement complex security
procedures. More than ever, today’s events rely
on the abilities of security service providers to
deliver an excellent customer experience while
managing and mitigating risks to the public. CSC
understands this and has taken steps to protect
its clients from litigation and liability arising from
such acts.
On July 18, 2013, the U.S.
Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) awarded
CSC the “Designation” level
of SAFETY Act coverage for
Event Security Services, of -
ficially approving CSC’s core competencies as a
Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT). This
coverage provides legal liability protections to
venue ownership where CSC provides its Event
Security Services. Core competencies include
physical screening, access control, and crowd
management.
On April 20, 2017, after continued enhance -
ments to its processes, DHS awarded CSC the
“Certification” level for Event Security Services.
As described on the DHS SAFETY Act web site,
the Services are a “
suite of safety and security
services designed, in part, to deter, detect, dis -
rupt, respond to, and mitigate Acts of Terrorism.
The services are deployed at: arenas, stadiums,
performing arts venues, convention centers, race
tracks, etc., and outdoor festivals, concerts, and
golf tournaments. The Technology is a set of core
activities invariable across all deployments, and a
set of enhanced, customer-driv-
en activities not necessarily
suitable at all venues or event
types.” With the Certification,
CSC was placed on the official
SAFETY Act Approved Technol -
ogies List.
CSC received these recognitions by DHS after a
very thorough evaluation of our policies, training
procedures, and operations. DHS made several
site visits to venues where CSC provides security
services and was complimentary of the profes -
sionalism and effectiveness of our workforce. CSC
representatives spent countless hours on the
phone, in meetings and face-to-face with DHS
officials demonstrating to them that CSC is not
a “traditional” guard service. CSC is proud to be
the first crowd management company to have
received SAFETY Act Designation and Certifica-
tion for Event Security Services.
What this means for the CSC client
Under this coveted award, when a Technology is
Designated as a QATT, the Seller of the QATT (i.e.,
CSC) is granted limited liability for third-party
claims arising out of the deployment of the QATT
with respect to an “Act of Terrorism” (as defined
in the SAFETY Act and the implementing regu -
lations).
“Through our 54 year history, we have always remained progressive and contemporary with societal changes and event needs. Working with DHS, we identified training methods and operational plans that could be modified to better meet the overall safety objectives. We believe that giving our clients this peace of mind sets us far apart from any of our competitors. Not only that, our ESOP employees/owners can also rest assured since this mitigates chances of catastrophic loss and protects the company’s future in the event of worst-case scenarios. And in our business, we are especially aware of the need to be prepared for anything- and this shows exactly that.” Damon Zumwalt

The most important thing for our clients and po-
tential clients to know is that according to DHS’s
published Regulations (see language below),
CSC becomes the sole entity that can be sued for
third-party injuries associated with the services it
provides, effectively shielding our clients from lia-
bility. In other words, if an Act of Terrorism occurs
at a locale where CSC is deployed, any third-party
lawsuits alleging shortcomings of CSC’s covered
services can only be brought against CSC, thus
immunizing the client from lawsuits that they
might otherwise face in the absence of CSC’s
SAFETY Act Designation/Certification.
6 CFR Part 25 (§ 25.7 Litigation Management
(d), Page 33166, excerpt): [emphasis added]
[Note, CSC is defined as the “Seller”]
(d) There shall exist only one cause of
action for loss of property, personal
injury, or death for performance or non-
performance of the Seller’s Qualified Anti-
Terrorism Technology in relation to an Act
of Terrorism. Such cause of action may
be brought only against the Seller of the
Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology and
may not be brought against the buyers, the
buyers’ contractors, or downstream users
of the Technology, the Seller’s suppliers or
contractors, or any other person or entity.
Additionally, having CSC as
your event security services
provider can significant-
ly ease the burden on a
venue’s own SAFETY Act
application. Rather than
having to provide lengthy
narratives and provide ef-
fectiveness data about in-
ternal or an unknown third-party’s security poli -
cies and procedures, the venue can describe its
oversight and quality assurance of CSC and refer-
ence CSC’s Certified services.

Proposal shall include a statement demonstrating the firm’s understanding of the Scope of Ser- vices.
Additionally, proposed work plan shall include Proposers’:
i. Anticipat ed approach to performing services as specified herein.
RESPONSE:RESPONSE: Quality Guest Service is an attitude that is ingrained in every aspect of our organiza - tion. However, we recognize it begins and ends with our people. Our philosophy is to deliver a con - sistent, premium service level through excellent foundation plans, quality staff training, and regular performance monitoring, including feedback from our clients and their customers.
We focus on Service and Safety above all else - CSC delivers security operations that are sensitive to customer comfort while still being disciplined about security integrity. For example, our organization’s position as the primary supplier of Event Services to Olympic Games Organizing Committees over the past 18 years has grown because we have developed and implemented a service delivery model that exceeds the standards typically provided in the security industry. As part of CSC’s continuing commitment to guest service, our services will include:
1. Guest Service as a Central Principle in the Mission of the Event Security Team. Our goals to achieve this are:
• Providing a safe and enjoyable guest experience from entry to exit of an event. • Applying these principles to all: guest, key stakeholders, and other security entities. • Strive to create a unique guest experience; we know that customer satisfaction is based on loyalty, identity with the facility, and relationships. Special interactions keep guests coming back!
2. Policies and Procedures, which Incorporate Guest Service Benchmarks • Using our current best practice methods, we can adjust our Policies and Procedures to reflect both key stakeholders needs and guest service elements. • Using specific instructions within procedures, which emphasize the levels of guest service expected as well as methods of achieving those levels, through personal action on the job.
3. Training Modules Designed for Positive Customer Service Outcomes • We provide all our staff with a Guest Services module as part of standard training. While this is highly effective, our success has been achieved by taking an extra step, which is to include the guest service elements in ALL our training materials.
4. Evaluation and Feedback Systems Which Include Built–in Key Performance Indicators for Guest Services
• Measuring guest satisfaction and engagement is central to our performance manage - ment system. We communicate with our clients, integrating with their own guest sat - isfaction systems, or utilizing our own methods, such as “Mystery shopper” evaluations, self-evaluation and peer/leader evaluation. Staff performance is reviewed by our venue leadership every day, as well as at more formal ‘official’ review cycles.
RESPONSE:RESPONSE: CSC does not have any special concerns or suggestions for the evaluation committee at this time.
ii. Suggestions or special c oncerns the evaluation committee should take into consider- ation (if any).

RESPONSE:RESPONSE: CSC’s implementation plan and general daily event operations are listed below. iii. Description o f deliverables and implementation plan. Proposer shall submit a general description of the deliverables, implementation plan, and timeline.
Standard Event Day Operation Outline
1. Employee Access Control consists of:
a. Positive identification and
credentialing of CSC personnel.
b. Audited distribution and collection
of CSC’s security uniform (i.e., shirts and
jackets)
c. Verification and validation of
accreditation devices for access to
restricted areas.
All employees arriving at the event venue
enter through the designated employee
entrance where they and their personal
property are searched by CSC ESOs. The
search techniques, may vary from venue to
venue, but typically include screening with a
metal detector and a search of any property
(bag search) they are attempting to carry into
the facility. After screening, venue employees
report to a specific sign-in area where their
employee I.D. is verified and they are issued
an event shirt with a unique serial number
and temporary, event-specific credentials (e.g.
wristband or paper hang tag). CSC employees
must have all three forms of accreditation to
exit the sign-in area and must display these
items at all times while they are inside the
venue.
While in the sign-in area, CSC employees also
receive event information and training aides
such as timelines, maps and emergency
response procedures.
2. General Event Briefing – The CSC Event
Manager gathers all hands for the general
event briefing. This briefing is typically
held about 1 hour before the venue opens
to the public. Regardless of the event, this
briefing follows a standard checklist that
covers specific details in six broad categories
and reviews the event materials (maps,
event timelines, hot sheets, etc.) that were
distributed to each employee during the sign
in process. The general event briefing covers
the following topics:
a. Guest Services Event Goals
b. Event / venue information
c. General event timeline
d. Important locations
e. Venue policy and procedure
f. Emergency procedures
g. Questions and comments
This briefing concludes with an overview of
the emergency response procedures. Portions
of this briefing may be assigned to other
individuals or included within written post
orders or other training aides. If necessary, this
briefing may be delivered to separate shifts
which are common for very large events that
span several operational periods (12 hours).
Employees who arrive late and do not attend
this briefing are held in the sign-in area until
they can be briefed about the event. At the
conclusion of this briefing CSC Supervisors
assemble the employees assigned to their
deployment and move to their assigned area
of responsibility as a group.
3. Supervisor Briefings – Immediately after
the general event briefing, CSC Supervisors
assume responsibility for the CSC personnel
assigned to them in what is commonly
referred to as “a deployment”. Supervisors
record the name, CSC ID number, uniform
serial number, and equipment assigned to
each individual on a deployment sheet and
a duplicate. After leaving the briefing area,
supervisors take their assigned employees
on a tour of the supervisor’s assigned area
of responsibility (AOR). Supervisors provide
a more detailed briefing that is appropriate
for their area of responsibility. They also
review venue policy and procedure, explain
break procedures, and demonstrate specific
skills and other event specific training
(EST) assigned by the CSC Event Manager.
The supervisor briefing concludes with a
“brief back” and skill demonstration where
individual CSC employees are asked to answer
questions about their post responsibilities
and demonstrate specific skills such as bag
search or checking credentials.
4. Post Briefings – After briefing their deployment,
each supervisor posts the CSC personnel
This item contains and consists of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Contemporary Services Corporation and is not to be reproduced, copied, or used without its express written permission. 20 assigned to them. During this process the
supervisor explains the specific purpose
and responsibilities and the evacuation
instructions for each post. In particular,
supervisors point out the post-stander’s safety
and security responsibilities within the larger
event. They review the written post orders
with each individual Team Member to ensure
they understand the responsibilities of their
post and know what to expect during the
event.
5. Post Inspections – After assuming responsibility
for their post, each CSC employee is responsible
for conducting an inspection of his or her post
to identify any hazards or unsafe conditions.
These inspections include walking emergency
exits and paths of egress to confirm they are
open, accessible and free from obstructions.
The pre-event inspection must be completed
before the venue opens to the public. Any
problems identified during this inspection are
reported to the supervisor who relays them to
the Unified Command Post for action. Once
all CSC supervisors have reported “staffed and
ready”, the venue can be opened to the public
at the direction of the client.
6. Ingress Gates– Most venues open their en -
trances 60 – 120 minutes before the event
begins. The nature of the event will deter -
mine the density of the crowd at opening.
For example, concerts and other events that
use General Admission (GA) seating, where
people can sit in any available seat, will typ -
ically have heavy ingress at opening. Howev -
er, sports events have a very light ingress at
opening and heavy ingress just before the
game begins. During ingress, CSC personnel
are concentrated in and around the venue’s
entrances. Physical security, access control,
crowd management, and guest services are
the focus during this time and, depending
on the policies and procedures established
by the client, CSC is conducting security in -
spections of people and property entering the
venue. Supervisors have demonstrated the
proper search techniques and reviewed re-
sponse procedures for prohibited, illegal, and
suspicious items during their briefing so now
they assist with the searches or help resolve
problems as they arise as they monitor their
posts.
7. Ingress Interior/Building Circulation-Concur-
rent with gate screening, the interior staff will
be tasked with further welcoming, directing
and servicing the guest at the interior posts
through seating assistance and answering
guest questions. Additionally, these team
members are an important safety compo-
nent providing “eyes and ears” for observation,
reporting, and response initiation of any inci -
dents.
8. Incident Response – Any large sports or
entertainment event generates a number of
different incidents. Most of these incidents
are relatively minor and are quickly resolved.
However, spectator violence, severe weather,
a fire, or the collapse of a railing or temporary
structure can quickly create an incident that
requires CSC to relocate spectators. CSC
personnel in the area are typically the first
resources on the scene of these events and
they follow the basic response procedures
they have learned through training.
9. Egress – Preparation for egress begins approxi-
mately 30 minutes before the end of the event
or earlier dependent upon crowd departure.
The CSC Event Manager, in coordination with
the client, law enforcement, and the Unified
Command Post, repositions CSC personnel at
“exit posts” to facilitate egress. Teams of CSC
employees are positioned at stairwells, esca -
lators, ramps, venue exits, and other common
choke points to monitor and facilitate crowd
movement. After the egress of the crowd, CSC
Supervisors direct a search of their assigned
areas of responsibility (AORs) for people who
are still inside the building. This search pro -
vides important training on how to search the
venue during an emergency and it also helps
identify maintenance issues and other haz -
ards that must be corrected before the next
event. Egress is often a critical time of the
event as law enforcement units have typically
been reassigned to traffic management posts
outside of the venue and the responsibility for
crowd movement falls to CSC.
