Local security expert at international sports events management event
The panel topic, 'Developing and implementing effective security strategies at and around the event' focussed on engaging stakeholders' cooperation and assistance in order to coordinate an overall security plan; understanding risk assessment planning and procedures; establishing objectives early on and the importance of clearly communicating those objectives to all personnel; as well as effective crowd management and venue safety and security.
"NSA was pleased to be able to share some of its experience gained from not only the 2010 FIFA World Cup but also other sporting events such as the ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC World Twenty20 and the Indian Premier League (IPL), where we act as the tournament security consultants. At the moment, in terms of event security, our focus is on providing specialised security services to our clients at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 on the Indian sub-continent, IPL 2011 and the London Summer Olympic Games in 2012," said Steyn.
