Security
The Rhode Island Convention Center maintains security for the Center perimeter. Licensees are responsible
for complete security within the premises at their sole cost and expense. The Convention Center bears no
responsibility for equipment, property, or possessions left unattended, without hired Security to protect
same. For events attended by more than one thousand (1,000) people, you must employ and pay for a security
agency licensed in the State of Rhode Island and approved by the Rhode Island Convention Center. The
security agency shall provide an adequate number of guards for the regulation of traffic, maintenance
of order, and protection of persons and property on the Premises. You must notify the Center in writing
thirty (30) days prior to your event as to the number, placement, hours, and agency employed to provide
security, all of which shall be subject to the approval of the Center. Outside security forces must be in
uniform and display identification badges, and must be from an approved security vendor. The use of armed
guards is prohibited without prior approval of the Rhode Island Convention Center. Security services are
available through the Rhode Island Convention Center. Please contact your Event Manager to arrange a security schedule for your event.
The building is secured in the evening after every group has completed their events.
Rooms can be secured upon request. Video Cameras monitor selected areas within the
Convention Center and the Garage. Key requests and change-of-lock requests can be a
accommodated in most cases. Please contact your Event Manager for pricing and information.
