Event and production security, planned before the doors open.
Protective planning and on-site security for functions, productions, and film and TV sets.
Event and production security protects guests, principals, cast, crew, and a venue or set during a gathering or a shoot, planned in advance and managed on site. The work that matters most happens before anyone arrives: mapping the space, identifying exits and choke points, and setting the protective footprint. TB Defense provides event and production security for private functions, corporate events, film and television productions, and high-profile gatherings across Chicago.
What it includes
- A protective plan built from a walkthrough of the venue or location
- Access control, guest screening, and credentialing as required
- Set, cast, and crew security for film and television productions
- Protective coverage for any principal or VIP at the event
- Coordination with venue staff, production, medical assets, and law enforcement
- Discreet agents who match the tone of the event, with a clear team lead
- Secure transportation for principals and VIPs to and from the event
How it works
We conduct an advance on the venue or location, identify the risks specific to the event or shoot, and deploy a team sized and dressed for the setting. Our agents hold an active posture without making guests, cast, or crew feel policed.
Who it is for
Hosts of private events, production and entertainment companies, film and television productions, and corporate teams running gatherings that need a professional, low-profile security presence.
Common questions
Do you provide security for film and TV productions?
Yes. We provide set, cast, and crew security and location coordination for film and television productions, sized to the production and its risk.
Do you provide security for events outside Illinois?
Yes. We are based in Chicago, but events and productions travel, and so do we. We staff and coordinate event and production security across the country, working with vetted local resources where it helps.
Can you provide secure transportation for an event?
Yes. We arrange and run secure transportation for principals and VIPs to and from the venue, coordinated with the on-site protective plan.
Do you provide protection for a specific VIP at an event?
Yes. Close protection for a principal or VIP can run alongside the broader event coverage, with a dedicated agent or detail assigned to that person.
