None of the concoms I've been on have had an official security team or hired professional security.
However there are several members of the local fan community who work in the security industry.
All of the concoms I've been on have involved asking them for advice, and/or calling one of them if a situation has arisen (eg 2005 had someone wander in off the street causing trouble, who needed to be evicted).
The concoms usually have contingencies in place, and/or have discussed in advance how possible situations would be handled. This has resulted in the few issues that have occurred being dealt with quickly and quietly.
