Fire Fighting in Canada

While parades are often joyous community events, they can also be targets for attackers. This webinar underscores the critical need for robust security measures and response plans as well as discussing the unique challenges parades present. Join members from the Kansas City Police Department as they detail their response to the tragic mass shooting incident that took place during the Super Bowl LVIII victory parade in Feb. 2024. Also present will be John Davidson, Division Chief of Technical Operations for Toronto Fire Services, and Brian Claman, President and Managing Director for BCA Security Management, as they weigh in on how police, fire and security can work together to protect these mass gatherings. Fee: $40 CAD, which includes a $10 donation to Wounded Warriors Canada. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/g2rdPz7M
