Guidelines

For large events (more than 500 attendees), especially events with alcohol, a security plan has to be approved by MCSO for a temporary use permit to be issued by Planning and Development. At MCSO’s discretion, we may determine that additional deputies need to be hired and may also need to be on site for the entirety of the event to provide sufficient security.
All details require at least 2 Deputies & must be a minimum of 2 hours long

- 500 attendees or less = 2 Deputies
- More than 500 attendees = 4 Deputies
