The frequency of mass gathering events andorganized protests coupled with the increasedpublic scrutinyof lawenforcement practiceshas exacerbated the need for public safety personnel to carefully balance the FirstAmendment rights and other civil liberties with police intervention strategies.Thoughtful event managersintegrate intelligent, less provocative, and even passive strategies to keep people safe. Leveraging the power ofUnmanned Aircraft to manage the public safety more effectively during mass gathering events is rapidlybecoming the industry standard.

Developed by crowd managementexperts and UAS managers, this one-day course equips attendees with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to effectively integrate Unmanned Aircraft Systems into crowd management strategies.

Students will:

1. Explain the principles of crowd management

2. Identify UAS equipment for crowd management
