a. Festival events shall present a security plan to the Indian River County

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This item concerns a requirement for festival events in Indian River County. Any event planning to hold a festival must submit a security plan to the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office Division of Law Enforcement. Approval from this division is a necessary step before a permit or license agreement can be issued for the event. This process is currently under review. The work involved would focus on developing and implementing security plans for future festival events. This could include security personnel, crowd management strategies, and emergency response protocols. Local contractors, security service providers, and event planning consultants could find opportunities by engaging with event organizers early. Understanding these requirements before permit applications are finalized allows businesses to tailor their services and prepare bids.
