What strategies can you use to mitigate terrorist attacks at events?
Do not ignore improving the physical protection of venues including installing physically robust security rated entrance and exit doors, protecting glazing against shattering and reducing the risk of injury from flying fragments of glass through application of window film or replacement with laminated glass in suitably robust frames. Security is a combination of strengths across different layers that combined creates a stable and effective security plan. An effective security plan includes Intelligence, physical robustness, trained human assets, CCTV/electronic security and communications. Miss one aspect of this in your plan and all other parts are less effective or your plan will fail under pressure.
