Knight International Tactical Protection Services

Knight International Tactical Protection Services

We focus on ensuring that security on the film set, is a combination of many key aspects which determine the safety of a movie production.
One of the crucial components is of course the physical security, and that’s where you can rely on us.

We at Knight Tactical, look at a few fundamental elements, to help you create a holistic approach to film production safety.

Crowd Control

When shooting in public, crowd management is crucial. Skilled security personnel maintain order and safety. Our trained security officers handle foot traffic, patrol perimeters, set up queues, and access points.

Basecamp and set location security

Our PSIRA registered and trained security officers, are experienced in providing security to the film industry. Our officers are flexible on set and basecamps, and move and function as you require them to. From small teams to larger teams, securing huge sets, we provide high visibility security teams to suit your budget.

Close Protection Officers

Our set security options can also include the use of armed trained discreet CPOs for purposes of escorting of actors to and from location.

Traffic Controllers

We assist your safety officers on set, to implement traffic management plans, with local traffic services, metropolitan police and law enforcement services. Our direct contact with these essential role-players, helps get your production moving hat much quicker.

Security Drivers / Escorts / Airport Transfers

Where necessary and especially in high-risk areas and environments, with the very real threat of hijacking and robberies, our trained security drivers and escorts can ensure the safe transportation of cast, crew, and equipment to and from shooting locations, as well as transfers to and from the airports for VIP’s. We pre-plan routes and keep in constant contact with policing agencies to ensure safe travelling of cast, crew and equipment.

Armored vehicles and tactical personnel

We provide an armored vehicle service with our APC bulletproof vehicles, manned by well trained and professional tactical officers, to secure high risk locations.

Fire Safety

Our security officers are trained in all aspects of fire safety, and assist as fire wardens. In addition, we can provide a dedicated fire truck with trained personnel to your production set, as well as additional fire safety equipment where needed. Upon request, and should you need it, the fire truck and its members can also be utilized as set extras.

Tactical Team extras

Should your production require the use of ‘tactical teams’ in a movie production, we have a number of private independent security subcontractors, that have the relevant experience in actual combat environments. We often get requests for the use of men who look the part, with full tactical gear and equipment to match, that are able to work in as extras and background personnel on site.

The success of a film production relies on the practical implementation of key security measures. It starts from crowd control and goes to close protection personnel. Each of these components contributes to a secure and smooth filming experience. By prioritizing these key elements, film sets can create a safe and productive environment. It is suitable for all involved, ultimately leading to a successful production.

We would like you to consider utilizing our safety and security services for your next production.
