Security

The W.M.A. maintains an exclusive in-house security operation. Our professional security personnel provide coverage for W.M.A.'s perimeter areas and internal corridors. Building security will also open and secure exterior and interior access doors and monitor internal traffic flow.

The W.M.A. business office is W.M.A.'s designated communications base. The office is located at the northwest corner of the lobby.

Security is provided by members of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. The number required for each event is determined by the facility manager in conjunction with the Police Department.

• The W.M.A. may require Lessee to provide minimum levels of security coverage in any leased space and other areas (i.e. public access areas, registration areas, etc.). Such coverage will be at Lessee's expense.
• No doors may be chained or otherwise locked without the written approval of W.M.A. No doors can be chain locked when an area is occupied.
• All approved chains must be plastic coated, and W.M.A. in-house security must be presented with keys to all locks.
• All proposed security arrangements are subject to W.M.A. approval and must be submitted to the W.M.A. a minimum of twenty-one (21) days prior to the event.
• All service contractor and other event related labor must enter/exit the W.M.A. via the designated employee entrance and are to be properly badged.
• W.M.A. in-house security reserves all rights to access any W.M.A. space.
• Use of armed guards is prohibited without the written consent of the W.M.A. and/or the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
• The decisions of the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Department and its designate are final.

All incidents of injury, vandalism, fire, theft, loss, or damage should be reported to the W.M.A. business office immediately. Following notification of any incidents, security officers will initiate appropriate reports and investigations.
