August 30, 2018
As fans begin to trickle into Citi Field in New York City, home of the Mets, a room behind center field is already on full alert, monitoring for potential risks that could affect fans, players, employees and property.
Large venues pose unique challenges to security and emergency preparedness. The combination of dense crowds, media visibility and high economic value at such events creates great risk to people, property and reputation. But how do you ensure strong security while also ensuring your patrons and fans still have fun?
One of the most fascinating elements of the security industry is that it's always evolving. Trends, technologies and techniques emerge daily, with one goal in mind: creating a safer world for people and assets. Change is inevitable in all facets of the security market, and fresh ideas that lead to cutting-edge, innovative processes are always contributing to the advancement of the industry.
Threat assessment, much like any other organizational function, needs to be actively managed and continuously improved. The HSEEP framework offers a strategy for both novice and seasoned teams to monitor progress through documented training.
