Certificate of Safety and Security for Sports Events

   Sports Event Security Aware  (SESA)

   System of Approval

Teamwork

An effective sports event security management system requires the involvement and commitment of many agencies and individuals. It is imperative that the sports organizations, law enforcement agencies, emergency management, and response professionals learn to work unselfishly resulting in mature teamwork.

 

The ultimate result being multi-agency collaboration capability to:

  • detect potential threats

  • delay attacks on assets

  • mitigate consequences of an event therefore

  • minimizing casualties.

Our goal is security management which will protect assets, human and otherwise, to the highest possible degree and which is National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliant.

 

The following details the four processes which must be effectively completed to achieve the Sports Event Security Aware (SESA) seal of approval.
