Planning and Managing Security for Major Special Events

Planning and Managing Security for Major Special Events: Guidelines for Law Enforcement

This CD-ROM was produced by the Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office) from a curriculum developed by the Regional Community Policing Institute at Eastern Kentucky University in cooperation with the Institute for Law and Justice (ILJ). The CD-ROM is a companion training tool for a project undertaken by ILJ to produce guidelines for state and local law enforcement administrators in planning and managing security for major special events in their communities.

The training materials on the CD-ROM are divided into 14 modules. Each module contains a lesson plan, a slide presentation that complements the lesson plan, and resources that supplement the topic covered in the module. The modules can be used either together in a comprehensive training or as stand-alone modules for addressing specific areas of planning and managing for major special events.
