Air Show Security: Keeping Everybody Safe, Part One

Tuesday, December 10th 2019 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Versailles 3-4

As terrorist attacks, active shooter tragedies and other mass-casualty incidents have become more frequent and more visible, air show directors are committing additional planning time and resources to the challenges of protecting spectators from a wider variety and larger number of security threats. This two-part session on security will begin with an introduction to air show security considerations, including an overview of the current threat climate, common strategies and philosophies for incident management and response, and tips and suggestions for working with local enforcement officials to develop your show’s security plan. This session will serve as both an introduction to those unfamiliar with air show security and a helpful overview for those with some experience in security.
