COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Event Security Planning for Public Safety Professionals course is designed to educate all small and rural community public safety personnel as well as local officials concerning security concerns and considerations involved with planning any event.
Event security planning is a critical part of successful event planning. This is a planning and management course designed to introduce basic principles and skills associated with planning security for events in small communities and rural areas.
Designed as a planning level course; it does not provide operational training regarding security at planned events. This course enables participants to recognize and plan adequate strategies and security measures to prevent or mitigate security incidents related to planned events. The course reinforces the importance and magnitude of security planning required to execute a safe and effective event regardless of the size of the event.
Advance planning considerations for security should be built into overall planning and management of events. Bringing together security planners from various agencies and departments will reinforce the benefits of cross-discipline collaboration in advance planning for security of planned events. Policy makers and event planners who attend the course will recognize the benefit of including all involved agencies and personnel on event planning teams.
