Entertainment & Film Security
Our Approach
At 5 LINQ Protection, Inc., we understand that security within the entertainment and film industry requires a specialized approach. Productions are fast-moving environments involving valuable equipment, high-profile talent, multiple vendors, large crews, changing locations, and strict schedules. Our goal is to provide professional, discreet security that protects your people, property, and production while allowing your team to work with minimal interruption.
Our process is simple and thoughtful
Our Entertainment & Film Security Services are customized for motion picture and television productions, commercials, music videos, photo shoots, live productions, independent projects, production companies, studios, and on-location filming.
On-Location Production Security
-
Whether filming on a studio lot, private property, city street, remote location, or overnight set, 5 LINQ Protection, Inc. can provide trained security personnel to help maintain a safe and controlled production environment.
-
Our officers can assist with securing the production perimeter, monitoring entrances and exits, controlling unauthorized access, protecting equipment and production vehicles, maintaining designated restricted areas, and supporting production management with security-related needs throughout the shoot.
-
We understand that production schedules can change quickly. Our team can accommodate early call times, overnight shoots, extended production days, multiple locations, and changing security requirements.
Talent & Executive Protection
High-profile talent, producers, directors, executives, and other production personnel may require an additional level of security and privacy.
5 LINQ Protection, Inc., can provide discreet executive and close protection services designed around the individuals’ schedule and level of exposure. Protection can extend from residences and hotels to production locations, press appearances, premieres, private events, and transportation.
Our objective is to provide a strong protective presence without unnecessarily interfering with the clients’ personal or professional activities.
Set Access & Perimeter Control
Maintaining control of a production location is essential for safety, privacy, and efficiency. Our security personnel can assist with:
Production entrance and exit monitoring
Credential and identification verification
Crew, vendor, and visitor access
Perimeter security
Restricted-area enforcement
Crowd and pedestrian management
Unauthorized-person and trespassing prevention
Production parking and vehicle access
Equipment and staging-area security
After-hours and overnight location monitoring
Equipment, Vehicle & Asset Protection
Film and television productions often have significant amounts of valuable equipment on location, including cameras, lighting, sound equipment, generators, production vehicles, wardrobe, props, and specialty equipment.
5 LINQ Protection, Inc., can provide dedicated security for equipment staging areas, base camps, production trailers, transportation vehicles, and other high-value assets, including overnight protection when equipment remains on location.
Base Camp & Production Trailer Security
Base camp is often the operational center of an on-location production. Our personnel can help control access to cast trailers, production offices, wardrobe and makeup areas, equipment staging areas, and other designated spaces.
Security coverage can be coordinated with production management to maintain appropriate access while minimizing disruption to cast and crew.
Crowd, Fan & Paparazzi Management
-
Productions involving recognizable talent or highly visible locations can quickly attract fans, photographers, media, and members of the public.
-
Our experienced personnel can help establish appropriate security boundaries, protect private production areas, manage crowds, and assist with maintaining safe movement for talent and production personnel.
When executive protection is required, our security team can coordinate closely with the production to help facilitate secure arrivals, departures, and movements between locations.
Location Security
When filming takes place at private residences, businesses, estates, or other sensitive properties, protecting the location is just as important as protecting the production.
Our personnel can monitor designated access points, help prevent unauthorized entry, maintain restricted areas, and provide a professional security presence throughout the production period.
Experienced. Professional. Production Ready
At 5 LINQ Protection, Inc., we recognize that an effective production security team must do more than provide a visible security presence. Our personnel understand the importance of professionalism, discretion, confidentiality, adaptability, communication, and attention to detail.
-
We work alongside production personnel with one objective: protect the people, property, assets, and privacy of the production while helping keep your production moving safely and efficiently.
-
From the first call time to the final wrap, 5 LINQ Protection, Inc., is prepared to provide security you can depend on.
