It's challenging enough to mitigate the risks during the school day but after the bell rings, on the weekend and at off-campus school-sanctioned activities, it's even greater.

The good news is that NCS4, the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety & Security, has developed best practices for both Interscholastic Athletics and After School Activities. Gary, the primary author and Kenna, best practice contributor, will use this information as the foundation for their presentation, while drawing on their experiences as SMEs to provide webinar participants with answers to their questions and including the following:

• What risks are the most likely or would result in the greatest impact in your school?
• What are reasonable mitigation strategies to address those risks?
• If there is an emergency, who is in charge after school?
• How do you train when the "staff players" constantly change?
• Do you utilize the same communication tools and protocols after school? 
• Do you need a different plan for after school than your school EOP?

The presenters will walk through scenarios applying the concepts presented.

 Participants will be able to:

• Identify high probability and high impact events for their school
• Describe mitigation strategies to address risks
• Determine need for separate planning for after school activities

Simplicity and collaboration are vital in today’s business environment where everyone must do more with less. Small teams tackling significant projects need technology that simplifies processes and multiplies impact. Whether it is enhancing security programs, adapting for diverse environments, better managing operational processes or identifying new opportunities—elegant solutions only come from true partnerships across the enterprise.

On the front lines, physical security teams are frequently partnered with IT departments to find new ways to simplify and modernize infrastructure across the enterprise. Modern solutions built on hyperconverged infrastructure enable IT staff and security personnel to centralize and greatly simplify system management while ensuring video data is securely stored and always accessible.

Join Security Management and Pivot3 for a webcast that demonstrates the application of best practices in partnering security and IT. Learn how to make a clear business case for senior leadership that will be indispensable in budget negotiations.

During this discussion, you will learn:

• How IT solutions can have a positive impact on your business, security efforts and data protection.
• Examples of processes and solutions to consider when modernizing your infrastructure.
• The benefits of building a strategic partnership between security and IT.

Soft targets pose many challenges to the security professional. Understanding there isn’t one answer, but a series of answers to the problem, is a critical first step. This webinar will take a fresh approach to the topic of soft target hardening based on the current environment and explore emergent threats and hardening tactics. Through case studies of soft target attacks, participants will learn about the vulnerabilities of soft targets, the motivation and capabilities of the actors most likely to strike soft targets, the current threat against soft targets, and CPTED and other hardening tactics. Participants will gain the skills to assess soft targets in their communities and develop a tailored action plan for hardening the facility.

 Participants will be able to:

• Define soft targets
• Explain motivation to attack soft targets
• Apply hardening tactics

Many of today's Security Managers are tasked with securing the Enterprise while providing support to regulatory requirements. Security is often constrained by budget and/or political considerations. These restrictions can degrade the security department(s) ability to properly design and implement secure infrastructure throughout their organization. This program will provide an insight into physical security counter-measures that can actually place the enterprise at greater risk due to their vulnerability to cyber-attacks or hacking (interactive session), managing an effective enterprise physical key program in a compliance driven environment, and a case study on how Human Factors impact Enterprise security implementation.

For the first time in US history, more people are dying from opiate overdoses than car accidents, meth and cocaine overdoses. In 2015, medical doctors in the US wrote 256 million prescriptions for opiates totaling 3 billion pills. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy now says we have an opiate epidemic in this country and only now are federal agencies, state drug oversight and physician-licensing groups starting to address this problem with any real vigor.

Use patterns for opioids and other substitute drugs show that any addicted employees would need to use their drug about every four to six hours and may become obsessed about not going into withdrawal during their work day. This means there is a strong likelihood they will use drugs like heroin at or near their workplace. Besides the obvious work productivity issues, heroin use brings illegal drug possession, theft, needles, and the danger of an overdose to the employer’s worksite.   

This webinar will explain how to recognize opiate abuse from both legal and medical perspectives, so security directors, managers, and supervisors become better aware of opiate use by their employees, vendors, visitors, customers, or trespassers. The webinar will discuss the protocols for “reasonable suspicion” interventions with employees, including drug testing, results discussions, treatment options, return to work protocols, and/or safe and legal discipline and termination procedures. The webinar will also touch on the efficacy and use of Narcan and if the organization should store this life-saving drug on-site.

Participants will be able to:

• Identify the signs, symptoms, and behaviors of employee opiate use and
• Have crucial conversations with employees suspected of opiate use.
• Explain the differences between opiate drug use versus opiate withdrawal symptoms.
• Determine when and if Narcan use by security staff for employees or others having an opiate overdose may be a necessity.
• Cite the safety hazards related to opiate users, their drugs, and drug paraphernalia, including needles and other blood-borne pathogens, like MRSA, hepatitis, and HIV.

Security managers, supervisors, practitioners, and any staff with security or HR functions.
