PRODUCTION SET SECURITY

Filming movies on Long Island or New York City can be a very challenging task. Most TV & film production sets inevitably attract people that are either members of the paparazzi,  movie star fans or people who are just curious to see what is happening. Everyone there wants to get a glimpse of their favorite movie star, and crowds can begin to swell at times.

Time is money in the film industry; when fans begin to disturb movie/TV sets, the disturbance will lead to lost time, ultimately increasing production costs.  Crowds of fans during movie & TV production can also interfere with the cast and crew moving freely around the set.

FILM CREW & PRODUCTION SECURITY

Priority Security Services can provide set security to include crowd control security, physical security protection for the talent, and prevent theft of the production equipment (cameras, boom mics, etc.). Our security guards know and understand set policies & procedures, call times, call sheets, and various other production and union protocol.

 We will coordinate with on-site production teams, location managers, and film crews to provide:

• Crowd Control Management

• Perimeter Security

• Cast/Talent Protection

• Equipment Security

• Night Shoots/Overnight To Secure Film Set

• Traffic Management

• Set Security

Priority Security Services can provide a combination of both armed and unarmed movie set security guards for your film production. Typically, unarmed guards are posted on the perimeter of your set to provide duties related to crowd control, traffic management, access control, etc.

The armed guards are posted inside the perimeter to provide an additional layer of security as well as close-up protection of the talent( movie stars, entertainers, etc.). We understand that some film producers do not feel comfortable with weapons on the set, if that is the case, we can provide an entire unarmed security team.

PROVIDE SAFETY & PREVENT LITIGATION

When shooting on location, our security team provides a safe enclosed set where only authorized people are permitted to enter. We provide a security team skilled at keeping curious onlookers away from production.

In addition to keeping onlookers at a distance on film & TV sets, our Security Officers can also warn pedestrians to use caution when walking near thick cables and heavy equipment, which could cause an injury and potentially trigger litigation. This security service is particularly useful on busy Manhattan streets.

We provide either armed or unarmed Security Guards for TV, film, or movie production set locations throughout Manhattan NYC, Long Island (Nassau County & Suffolk County), the Hamptons NY, and New York City.
