Large-Scale Events

From conventions to festivals to political events – bring both economic benefits and the potential for violence, mass demonstrations, and other security risks to a host city. Law enforcement must be prepared to handle incidents and achieve event goals, such as minimal civil unrest, reduced response times, and ensuring the public’s safety.

Large-scale public events require a heightened use of technology – during advanced planning exercises, managing the crowds, traffic, and perimeters during the event, responding to an incident, and closing the event down.

SDI has a team of security, public safety, and technology experts that have extensive experience in running large-scale public events. From special events (political party conventions, sporting events) and annual events (large-scale festivals and concerts), SDI provides:

• Tech advisory through embedded event support.
