Following up on our well-attended presentation about election security efforts at IACP 2022, our 2023 presentation will share lessons learned from officials in the field during the midterm election and how they maintained safety. In moderated conversations with law enforcement leaders, the presentation will focus on actual proactive planning that occurred to prevent and prepare for political violence, as well as real-time responses to threats of political violence before, during, and since the election.
