Advance Security Planning
Each engagement begins with a comprehensive site and environmental assessment, allowing our team to design a layered, intelligence-driven security framework. Core considerations include:
Event Environment: Venue layout, indoor/outdoor configuration, and ticketed vs. open-access attendance
Guest & Speaker Profile: Audience size, presence of additional VIPs, and threat rating against principals
Interagency Coordination: Collaboration with local, state, and federal law enforcement, as well as fire and EMS partners
Security Infrastructure: Allocation of posts, EOD and K-9 presence, and use of magnetometers or other screening systems
Specialized Capabilities: Counter-sniper, counter-drone, or counter-surveillance integration as needed
Operational Design: Site configuration, crowd movement strategy, and crisis response protocols
