Specialists from Alpha & Omega and Kel Executive Security can tailor a security program for any mass gathering. The plan may or may not include mounted security officers. However, most mass gatherings today can benefit from mounted officers.
Alpha & Omega Mounted Security Patrol
Troopers specialize in effective crowd control.
From high atop their horses, professionally
trained Troopers provide crowd management as
they patrol parking lots, concert venues, and
special events across the country. A small
number of trained riders on horses can manage
huge crowds.
Troopers are professionally trained observers
on horseback and are customer service
oriented. Riders are courteous, pleasant,
knowledgeable and informative at all times.
Troopers wear distinctive uniforms and present
a demeanor that invites respect, offering an
authoritative yet friendly presence.
Troopers work hand in hand with local law enforcement to provide extra eyes and
ears to prevent criminal activity in commercial and residential areas. Troopers can
clear a path for emergency vehicles easily and horses are trained to escort either
VIPs or paramedics and police through crowded foot traffic. Patrols handle amphitheaters,
arenas, stadiums, and special events.
KES provides the complete spectrum of security planning and implementation with
turn-key event security from pre-planning to post-event evaluation. Security
experts assist clients in assessing needs, minimizing risk, logistical planning, securing
permits, executive/performer protection, crowd management, budget planning,
deploying resources and other event security requirements.
While protection of people and property is the chief goal of the Alpha & Omega Mounted Security Patrol, many other advantages are derived from that purpose.
Height. A mounted Trooper sits eight to ten feet high, towering over the tops of parked vehicles and
allowing exceptional visibility. Studies indicate a mounted Trooper is six times more visible due to
his or her position than a foot patrol, bike patrol or motorized unit.
Visibility. Uniformed Troopers astride stately horses patrol your property.
Visibility equals deterrence.
Goodwill. Troopers interact with patrons, creating a reassuring presence. Strong, visible security
fosters repeat business.
Adaptability. Riders are able to maneuver easily in situations that are difficult, if not impossible, for
traditional patrols. Difficult terrain and constricted areas are the specialty of A&O.
Response. A mounted Trooper can rapidly maneuver between parked cars and vehicles, and horses
move easily on natural terrain or uneven ground.
Reconnaissance. A mounted trooper has a 360-degree range of vision.
Respect. The combination of a well-trained horse and Trooper commands respect, creating
unsurpassed efficiency in crowd management.
Reassurance. The stately, groomed horses act as a bridge between customers and Troopers. Riders
are trained in customer service techniques that will reflect a positive image of your business
or event.
Publicity. Because the Troopers are so visible, they often attract the attention of the news media.
