This book has drawn on national and regional events lessons-learned and "right-sized" this planning for all levels of government, education and corporate events. From local parades and public events to major sports and entertainment - all can use this practical guide. Major special events are typically of regional and national importance requiring the input and assistance of multiple agencies. These larger events, which often include a variety of VIPs and political figures, are also potential targets for terrorists, criminals, and protestors. They require extensive planning, elaborate communication at many levels, and a comprehensive approach. Special Events Security consists of an easy to follow five-step process that covers everything you need to know and do to manage successful, safe and secure events. Packed with real case studies, best practices and checklists, it walks you through the entire organizational process from the first day of planning to post-event evaluation.
