Posted on February 10, 2022August 29, 2022

Participants from the NCAA and various Indianapolis sport venues and organizations attended a DHS/FEMA-funded Sport Event Risk Management course led by NCS⁴ at the NCAA National Office in Indianapolis last week.

The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS⁴) at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) conducted a Sport Event Risk Management training course on February 1-2 at the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) National Office in Indianapolis. Twenty people attended the two-day course, including those from the NCAA and representatives of various Indianapolis sport venues and organizations.

The Sport Event Risk Management course is designed to build sport and special event risk management capabilities for community-wide collaboration and mitigation. Safety and security teams increase their knowledge of planning, risk assessment, training, and continuous improvement practices through activity-based training modules. The expectation is for participants to return to their respective sport venues and coordinate the development or enhancement of a sport event security management system.
