SEMINAR

After 09/11/2001, large-scale event planning and tactical overwatch procedures were developed for Penn State University football games and concerts. One of the largest stadiums of its kind, with a 110,000-person capacity, this venue provides unique challenges and learning opportunities for other agencies with large venues. Various items will be discussed, including creating thorough written assessments, tactics, techniques, procedures, and practices implemented at other venues. The presentation will include introducing the venue, conducting a venue site assessment, developing quick reference overlays, operations planning, contingency planning, and training.
