 Our standards.

All Edwards & Drake security personnel are fully licensed and trained by their respective state licensing agencies and undergo thorough background checks administered by us, as well as random drug-testing. They receive annual re-certifications in CPR/First Aid/AED, CA BSIS training, and quarterly live-fire tactical training administered by an active duty Peace Officer and FBI certified Range Master.

Edwards & Drake believes that a massive event is only as secure as its greatest opportunity to be breached. Therefore, we have implemented quality-control checks at several of our major events, known as “Red-Teaming”. We contract a neutral, third-party vendor whose only purpose is to see if anyone can penetrate our security measures before the client arrives; using various methods ranging from perimeter breaching (verbal and physical), to counterfeit credentials, “tailgating” at metal detector screening zones, etc. After each event, we both solicit and provide feedback with our vendor and discuss opportunities to improve on any areas that need to be addressed.
