URBAN TACTICAL SECURITY
Event security in Camden is planned backward from the crowd: entry screening, credentialing, alcohol-service management and a staffing ratio matched to attendance and venue type.
In Camden, demand for event security is driven by a major healthcare sector anchored by Cooper and waterfront redevelopment and event venues. The sectors that most rely on this service include healthcare, waterfront and industry, port and logistics, with specific needs in areas such as the Cooper University Health Care campus, the redeveloping waterfront, the industrial and port districts. The city's main security concerns — hospital workplace violence and emergency-department safety and industrial and waterfront-site theft — make working with a licensed, professional provider a priority investment for businesses and homeowners.

Read the event security buyer's guidePrivate security in New Jersey is licensed at the state level by the New Jersey State Police, Private Detective Unit (SORA). A legitimate company operating in Camden holds a Security Officer Company license (SORA), which means it has cleared New Jersey State Police's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In New Jersey, operating without a license is fourth-degree crime (indictable) (N.J.S.A. 45:19A-3 and 45:19A-4). Working as, or performing the functions of, a security officer without SORA registration is a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months imprisonment, up to $10,000 fine), and a company owner/operator who employs an unregistered officer is separately guilty of a fourth-degree crime per officer employed, with civil penalties of $1,000 (first offense) to $2,500 (subsequent) also recoverable.
