Managing Large-Scale Events: A Planning Primer for Local Law Enforcement Agencies

On December 7, 2012, CNA provided the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) with a draft version of a planning primer that will be distributed to local law enforcement agencies across the country to help them plan for and manage large-scale security events. CNA developed the document—Managing Large-Scale Events: A Planning Primer for Local Law Enforcement Agencies—using the lessons learned and best practices identified by the Tampa Police Department (Florida) and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (North Carolina) during the planning and operations stages of the 2012 Presidential Nominating Conventions. Once the planning primer has been finalized in the new year, it will be available for download on BJA’s website.
