Capitol Hill Symposium on Vehicular Terrorism
In October 2019, the SIA Perimeter Security Subcommittee hosted its second annual symposium on preventing vehicular terrorism featuring insights from federal, state and local government leaders; project designers; security industry solution providers; and other stakeholders. Discussions centered on:
- The importance of public safeguards against vehicular terrorism at public events such as parades
- Resources available to address vehicle ramming attacks both in the United States and abroad
- Implementing perimeter security by design in the planning phase as well as maintenance
- Risk and litigation management related to vehicular perimeter security
- Considerations for temporary and permanent barrier solutions
View highlights and photos from the symposium here. The subcommittee plans to host additional events like this symposium in the future.
