I've been involved in a couple of National Special Security Events (NSSEs). To say planning for these events is challenging is an understatement. In this episode, How to Make Our Nation's Biggest Events Safer, I share insight on how Federal, State, and Local agencies can and should work together to keep each other, the public, and their public figures safer.

The Ground Rules:

• Safety above all
• No egos
• No silos
• One planning process
• One planning team
• One incident action plan (IAP)
• Hope is NOT a Plan

This episode is dedicated to Firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died shielding his family, and to David Dutch and James Copenhaver, who are recovering from their injuries.

Godspeed.
