You still have time to join an important discussion on Women in Policing and Venue Security on Tuesday, October 8, at 10 am Pacific. Cities are increasingly recognizing the value of women in nighttime police units and venue security. The traditional image of a “burly bouncer” is being replaced by a new standard that emphasizes excellent communication skills and de-escalation techniques. The 30x30 Initiative, co-founded by Ivonne Roman, highlights that women police officers tend to use less excessive force and are involved in fewer lawsuits. This forum will explore the benefits of recruiting more women into security and policing roles.

There is still time to join a discussion on preventing nighttime social district gun violence with representatives from Pittsburgh, Denver, Minneapolis, Edmonton, New Orleans, NOBLE, among others. The Tuesday, September 10, 10am PDT Trendspotting Forum will explore how social venues and public safety agencies can work together to make social districts safer. https://lnkd.in/g26RCAb8

The Tuesday, September 10, 10am PDT Trendspotting Forum on gun violence in nightlife districts will explore how social venues and public safety agencies can work together to make social districts safer. Today, 31 states allow the open carrying of firearms without a license or permit, with restrictions on entering an alcohol-serving establishment. Shootings inside venues are rare and risk can be greatly reduced through trained door security and venue safety procedures. Incidents of gun violence that take place in public space in social districts can send shockwaves through the community with sensational media reports sparking fear among patrons and employees alike. https://lnkd.in/gEgUQaxv #gunviolence #nightlife #publicsafety
