Behind the scenes of an American football championship game

The countdown is on. The biggest event in American football is only days away and fans are ready for the action. The many organizations that work together to protect this highly-anticipated event are gearing up too. Everyone from stadium security teams, city departments, local and federal police agencies, and first responders are collaborating to make this event a success– and that incudes keeping everyone safe. 

So how do these cities, mass events and venues protect fans without taking away from the guest experience? It’s a balancing act. It means allowing massive crowds to move freely from venues to public spaces, all while discreetly monitoring what’s happening in a city at all times.

In a recent article about securing the event, Special Agent Shauna Dunlap, FBI spokesperson, said it best: “Just because you don’t see us, it doesn’t mean we are not there.”

Security teams and police agencies depend on advanced technologies to enhance situational awareness. Operators can then quickly identify and diffuse threats, without fans even noticing. Below are a few examples.
