    In this Feb. 25, 2010, webcast from SecurityInfoWatch.com, we featured a roundtable of leading transit security police administrators and transit industry experts. Our roundtable panel examined the overall scope of threats faced by public transit systems, including both daily crimes as well as the imminent threat of terrorist acts. We examined trends in securing the transit systems, including increased police presence, sweeps, technology usage, anti-terror teams, catastrophic event planning and transit security funding. The program will give you a current view on where security fits into transit agencies as you prepare to secure your own transit system. The program is offered free to all attendees.

    Roundtable topics of discussion:

    • Threat trends: the overall scope of what mass transit systems are facing today
    • Developing response and risk mitigation strategies for transit
    • Using current technologies to your advantage
    • Security sweeps of trains, stations
    • Developing anti-terror teams
    • Finding funding to increase security/police efforts for mass transit
    • Getting buy-in from management for security upgrades
