Whether it’s an open-air event, a corporate function, a wedding or a VIP reception: a professional security service determines whether an event will be remembered as having gone off without a hitch – or as having been marred by an incident. Infinitus Security provides trained staff with de-escalation skills for events of all sizes in Zurich, on Lake Zurich and throughout Central Switzerland – from a 30-person general meeting to an open-air event with several thousand guests.

FAQ – Event Security
How many security staff do I need for my event?
Do we need to inform the police?
For events open to the public, this is usually the case – whether a permit is required depends on the canton and municipality. We can assist you in liaising with the relevant authorities and, if required, provide the safety plan for submission.
Have your staff been trained in how to deal with guests who are under the influence of alcohol or who are aggressive?
Yes – de-escalation is at the heart of our training. Our staff resolve conflicts primarily through verbal means, using clear, calm communication. Physical intervention is always a last resort and is only permitted within the framework of Swiss self-defence law.
How short notice can you take on an event?
For events with up to around 200 guests, this is usually within 48 hours. For large-scale events, we recommend a lead time of at least two weeks to ensure the concept is properly developed.
Do you also provide traffic marshals for the journey here and a valet parking service?
