Film Set and Photo Shoot Security
Film Set and Photo Shoot Security Services
With genuine concern for the theft of expensive equipment from film sets and photographic shoots, Knight International TPS is recognised for providing tailor-made and cost-effective security solutions. Our trained officers are available for escorts, as well as long- and short-term security service provision for productions of all sizes.
Why Film Set Security Is Essential
The film industry is a popular field, and where there is popularity, there is a likelihood of crime. It is therefore extremely important to have functional, visible security on sets to deter theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access.
South Africa is a highly sought-after filming destination, especially in the Cape region. With multiple production companies active at any given time, the safety of your team, crew, and everyone on set is our top priority.
Film sets are expensive investments and often contain valuable props, costumes, and equipment. Our security officers are responsible for protecting these assets and ensuring your production runs smoothly, safely, and on schedule.
Comprehensive Film Production Security Services
Pre-Production Planning and Site Security
From the planning stages to deployment on site, our services include site safety briefings, security and safety updates, security overlays, roles and responsibilities, fire safety planning, and more. Our trained and registered security officers become an integral part of your production team.
On-Set Security Operations
We provide visible security presence through patrols, access control, and monitoring of entry and exit points to ensure only authorised personnel are present. Our services include securing vehicles, escorting staff in remote locations, monitoring sets to prevent theft or damage, and managing crowds and fans.
Time is money in the film industry. When productions are delayed due to public disturbances or unauthorised access, costs increase. Our professional security officers keep the public at a safe distance, allowing your cast and crew to work undisturbed both on studio grounds and on location.
By having dedicated security personnel, filmmakers can focus on bringing their creative visions to life.
Specialist Film Set Security Services
Crowd Control
When shooting in public, crowd management is essential. Our trained security officers manage foot traffic, patrol perimeters, and control queues and access points to maintain order and safety.
Close Protection Officers
We provide trained Close Protection Officers (CPOs) to escort actors, directors, and key personnel to and from filming locations.
Fire Safety
Our security officers are trained fire wardens and assist with all aspects of fire safety. We can provide a dedicated fire engine with trained personnel, additional fire safety equipment, and, if required, utilise the fire engine and crew as set extras.
Traffic Management
We assist safety officers in implementing traffic management plans in coordination with local traffic services, Metropolitan Police, and Law Enforcement. Our established relationships help your production move efficiently and without unnecessary delays.
Security Drivers, Escorts, and Airport Transfers
In high-risk areas, our trained security drivers and escorts ensure the safe transportation of cast, crew, and equipment. We provide secure transfers to and from filming locations and airports for VIPs, with pre-planned routes and constant communication with policing agencies.
Tactical Team Extras
For productions requiring tactical teams on screen, we provide experienced security subcontractors with real-world operational experience. These professionals are available as extras, fully equipped with authentic tactical gear and equipment.

We offer armoured vehicle services using APC bulletproof vehicles, staffed by professional tactical officers, to secure high-risk locations and protect valuable assets.
