Event Security Planning for Public Safety Professionals- Introduction

The Event Security Planning for Law Enforcement 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. The following key elements serve as the basis for the course:

• Review of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the Incident Command System (ICS) and their relationship to security planning and management;

• description and examples of events and venues; high-risk activities with security considerations; potential security incidents/hazards/exposures; and consequences to those incidents;

• guiding principles for event security; • fundamentals of risk assessment (risk, threat, and vulnerability assessments); • key components of event security planning: (examples: Memorandums of Agreement

(MOAs), emergency action plan (EAP), resource requirements, communications); • role of actionable security intelligence; • decision-based video scenarios to plan for potential “security” incidents/planned and

unplanned security hazards/exposures (examples: fire safety incidents, hazardous materials spills/incidents, food safety incidents);

• event planning exercise; • pre-incident planning; and • job aid (decision-making sync-matrix/software).

This course supports the strategic goals of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-8 National Preparedness, National Preparedness Goal, and the Target Capabilities List in the areas of planning, interoperable communications, information sharing & collaboration, risk analysis, critical infrastructure protection, on-site incident management, public safety and security, citizens’ protection, and emergency public information and warning.

MODULE 7: Planning for Incident Management


Scope Statement This module will discuss some of the concepts and components of ICS and the relationship to planning ICS in support of a planned event. Planning for events presents many challenges which may not arise with other more routine law enforcement activities. One of most challenging is the prevention or mitigation of an incident which may occur during the event. ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept which can be utilized during an event to prevent or mitigate an incident.

Terminal Learning Objectives (TLO) At the end of this module each participant should be able to explain the relevance of ICS structure and concepts to security planning for events. They should also be able to summarize the importance of incident management planning and give examples of real-world incidents that may require contingency plans as well as outline some of the essential security planning considerations when developing event contingency plans.

Enabling Learning Objectives (ELO) 7.1. Explain the relevance of ICS structure and concepts to security planning for events. 7.2. Summarize the importance of incident management planning for events and give

examples of real world incidents that may require contingency plans. 7.3. Outline some of the essential security planning considerations when developing event

contingency plans.
