Providing security at major events can generate significant challenges for police. Whether it is an international sporting competition or a meeting of world leaders, police officers must be able to recognize, minimize, and respond to potential threats to ensure the safety and security of participants and the public.

Developed by the RCMP, Major Events Security will develop awareness of situations or experiences that may be encountered while working in a security role at a major event. It will familiarize learners with the unique roles officers may be expected to perform during such events and will inform on how to respond to many operational situations.
