One bad night can end a venue.
- A no-show door team on your busiest night, and you're the one holding the line and the liability.
- Guards who escalate instead of defuse turn small problems into incidents, and incidents into headlines.
- Juggling unvetted freelancers for every show means you never really know who's showing up.

Rico
Rico founded R.I.C.O. Security, Risk Assessment Intelligence Control and Operations, after more than 20 years working security across Alberta's bars, nightclubs, festivals, and live shows.
