Alcohol Enforcement Parameters
The hosting organization is responsible for contacting Vandal Security to arrange for services. Cost of services are $25.00 per hour, per officer for University of Idaho departments. For staffing purposes, Security should be notified at same time as catering and at the time the alcohol permit application is submitted. Non University affiliated groups hosting an event at an on campus venue will be charged $27.50 per hour and are requested to make arrangements for security personnel 1 month in advance of the event.
Staffing levels are determined on the following factors:

•   Number of attendees
•   Age of attendees
•   Venue

Other considerations for staffing levels:

•   Number of egresses at venue
•   Length of the event

Staffing requirements:

•   50 people or less = 1-2 officers
•   50-125 people = 2-3 officers (50 or more in attendance requires security staff to ID & wristband at entrances
•     to venue)
•   125-300 people = 3-4 officers
•   300 + people =4-5 officers

If Security is not notified at least two days prior to cancelation or change of date/time/location, organizations will be charged a minimum of one hour of full staffing.

Vandal Security will make every effort to work with the organizers to be both cost conscious and safety aware, but the factors listed above will be the primary drivers of staffing levels. As events progress and the number of attendees reduces, the lead officer and organizer can determine if reduction of staff is feasible. Estimates will be for full staffing levels for the duration of the event. Organizations will only be charged for the hours worked.
