Security

Whether your event is large or small, Centennial Olympic Park wants your event to run smoothly and safely. Please review the Park's security policies below.

  • In the event of any crime, medical or other emergency condition, please contact Centennial Olympic Park Public Safety (404-223-4911). The Georgia World Congress Center Security Department is open 24 hours for the facility perimeter, parking decks, exterior grounds, interior public areas and people movement within these areas and for emergency response. All calls to outside law enforcement and medical response units shall be made by Centennial Olympic Park Public Safety in accordance with the Georgia World Congress Center Authority Emergency Operating Procedures, copies of which are available upon request.
  • The client is responsible for event-related security. Security arrangements are subject to review and approval by Centennial Olympic Park Public Safety. Additional event security may be required for restricted access events, ticketed events or events determined by Centennial Olympic Park Administration to require additional security.
  • Centennial Olympic Park Administration reserves the right to have, at customer's expense, additional security personnel if required to insure public safety.
  • All security firms working in Centennial Olympic Park must be registered with the Georgia Secretary of State's office and must comply with requirements of CONTRACT SECURITY FIRMS guidelines, Section 2 of these Event Policies and Procedures.
  • All security operational and setup plans must be submitted to Centennial Olympic Park Administration sixty (60) days prior to the event move-in. All setup plans shall be confidential and will not be distributed to unauthorized staff or other security firms.
  • Security plans shall include all security posts and the dates and times these positions will be staffed.
  • Any changes in the security plans are to be submitted for review.
  • Contract security firms will provide Park Public Safety reports of any incident of a criminal nature, illness or injury to an attendee occurring on Park property or damage to any property. Notification to Park Public Safety (or alternatively the GWCC Public Safety at 404-223-4911) shall be made during the shift in which the incident occurred.
  • Only authorized law enforcement personnel with legal jurisdiction are allowed to carry firearms or other self defense equipment on the premises. Non-uniformed law enforcement officers working "off-duty" for contract security firms or other security personnel may not carry firearms on the premises.
  • In the event of an emergency (e.g., fire, bomb threat, criminal activity, severe weather), contract security firms will notify Park Public Safety (or alternatively the GWCC Public Safety at 404-223-4911) immediately. Copies of Park Emergency Operation Procedures are available upon request.
  • Any conduct detrimental to the safe and proper operation of an event, abusive language, threats, assault, vandalism and all other inappropriate actions will result in immediate removal from the premises or arrest and prosecution as appropriate.
