Bodies without a brief are just extra people in high-vis.
A usable event plan names gates, stewarding, back-of-house, VIP, lost children, first aid and the police liaison. It is written before the first radio goes live. OnGuard has run that method at record-attendance rodeos on the South Coast and after-parties in the Hunter.
Radio discipline matters when the crowd peaks. One net, named call-signs, a person who actually answers. We do not invent a second channel at 21:00 because someone forgot batteries.
Close-out is part of the job: last patron, last vehicle, last lock, a short debrief. If your last provider vanished at last drinks, say so in the brief.
Takeaways
- Written plan after a site recce
