Multiple years of experience with providing on-set armed production security for high-profile television and film productions has equipped the Blue Star Security team with a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced by the entertainment industry. Armed security is critical to the entertainment industry to help mitigate the predictable nuisances that can waste time and increase expenses during a production shoot.

Our customized production security services are designed to secure both on set and on location, protect the cast, crew and expensive equipment, and allow entertainment productions to proceed smoothly and without incident.
