CSD Parade Cologne – VIP Personal Security on and after the big event

More security with our protection at the CSD demo in Cologne.

Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Cologne is one of the biggest and most colorful events of the year, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year in July. It is an extraordinary event with great people and a great atmosphere.

The CSD demonstration, as the associated parade is officially called, is the largest CSD demonstration in Europe. It traditionally starts on Sunday (date: July 21, 2024) and is the crowning highlight of the Cologne Pride weeks, during which the city becomes a colorful meeting place for people of all sexual orientations. CSD Cologne thus sets an example for equality and tolerance and offers everyone a good opportunity to express their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

 

Our role as bodyguards at events such as the CSD Cologne or the CSD demo in Cologne

We would like to emphasize that you can book RH Security’s bodyguards exclusively for the protection of persons and not as security personnel for the wagons or as general security personnel. As with other events, our focus is on protecting people at risk and ensuring a safe environment.

Our services:

  • Personal protection: our security staff is specially trained to protect people from potential danger in a wide variety of situations. We accompany our clients and intervene when necessary to ensure their safety.

  • De-escalation: Our team is trained to recognize and defuse potentially dangerous situations before they escalate.
  • First aid for our clients: In case of emergencies, our security guards are trained to provide first aid and take the necessary action quickly.

A typical deployment day at the CSD demo for personal protection

We have already been deployed several times at the Christopher Street Day Parade in Cologne. E.g., our client booked a bodyguard for the day of the CSD demo to accompany him through the hustle and bustle of the event around Cologne’s city center.

Unfortunately, major events such as these nowadays offer a target for offenders with different motivations. The motivations, as different as they may be, all have one and the same goal: to cause the greatest possible public damage.

Accordingly, the security guard’s focus was not only on directly escorting the protected person within the parade, but also on using the least frequented routes possible when moving through Cologne’s city center. Alternative routes were planned and an evacuation point was determined. The bodyguard also carried medical equipment for emergency care.

So far, all operations have gone smoothly and everyone involved has had an eventful day at this event.

Tips for your safe participation in CSD Cologne

The CSD should be an unforgettable and safe experience for you, even without individual personal protection.

We have put together a few tips for you:

 

  • Find out about the event:
    Check the route of the parade and the venues in advance.
  • Secure personal belongings:
    Take care of your valuables and keep them safe.
  • Stay hydrated:
    Consume enough water, especially in high temperatures.
  • Emergency contacts:
    Save important emergency contacts in your cell phone.
  • Arrange safe meeting places:
    Arrange meeting points with friends in case you get lost.
  • Respect and consideration:
    Behave respectfully towards other participants and helpers.

CSD Cologne: A celebration of diversity and security

We look forward to your inquiries and will be happy to provide you with personal protection. But even if you don’t make use of our services, we wish you lots of fun and an unforgettable time at CSD Cologne 2024. Enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle and celebrate diversity!
