Our commitment to quality and the highest safety standards is evident in our body of work. During Little Caesars Arena’s (LCA) inaugural season, we screened 1.2+ million guests in less than six months, earning the 2018 Sports Facility of the Year Award. From September 2017 to April 2018, we provided more than 130,000 guard hours at LCA and screened more than 80 percent of the patrons and fans. Little Caesars Arena has been the home to more than 150 ticketed events for 2.3 million fans, including a combined 82 Red Wings and Pistons regular season home games, more than 50 concerts and shows, and 15 additional sporting events.
In the past two years at LCA and Comerica Park, our patron screening and perimeter security staff have amassed an impressive record, including a personal commendation from the NBA, in 2018 as “the best contract security company.
