More DescriptionSecurity Management for Sports and Special Events: An Interagency Approach to Creating Safe Facilities presents a systematic approach to stadium and venue security. Unlike traditional risk management books that present guidelines for promoting safety and discouraging litigation in sport and recreation settings, Security Management for Sports and Special Events deals specifically with natural disasters, terrorism, crowd control problems, and other large-scale threats. As sport and facility managers seek to broaden their building management capabilities, this practical resource offers detailed guidance in improving the quality, coordination, and responsiveness of security protocols in their facilities. Security Management for Sports and Special Events provides an organized explanation of event security to support you in planning, implementing, and communicating security and emergency plans to staff and game-day hires, as well as assessing the effectiveness of emergency preparedness plans. Drawing on numerous examples from both in and out of sport, you'll consider the challenges, solutions, best practices, and prescriptions for coordinating the efforts of your staff, law enforcement, and security personnel. The text serves as the manual for managers seeking to achieve the SESA Seal of Approval offered by the University of Southern Mississippi's National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4). Developed by the authors and the only dedicated research facility for sport security management, NCS4 is on the cutting edge of researching and assessing game-day operations for security and crisis management.
