How many Mounted Safety Officers will we need?
One Mounted Safety Officer for every thousand visitors is a standard calculation. One Mounted Safety Officer/Unit Horse combination can equal up to 10 security staff on foot in terms of patrol. Thus, your overall security costs may be reduced. A detailed patrol route including emergency procedures is designed for your event, which will include the number of Mounted Safety Officers over an eight hour shift.
