From Stadiums to Streets: Operationalizing AI-Driven Mass Notification and Event Medicine for Law Enforcement

Chief Security Officer Justin McQuown and Paul E. Pepe, MD, FAEMS, translate two decades of high-threat protective operations and global EMS leadership into practical playbooks for police technology leaders. Using real-world cases--including arena tours, civic events, and active-assailant and mass-casualty incident (MCI) responses--they demonstrate how AI-zoned alerting, unified communications, and medically informed tactics reduce time to action, improve crowd outcomes, and strengthen multiagency coordination--without adding complexity for officers in the field.

• Attendees will be able to describe and diagram an end-to-end AI-zoned mass-notification workflow for law-enforcement operations, identifying triggers, routing paths, message templates, and role-based approvals.
• Attendees will be able to analyze and select the appropriate alerting modalities and medically informed tactics for active-assailant and mass-gathering incidents, coordinating real-time actions with PSAP/9-1-1, EMS, and venue security.
• Attendees will be able to draft a 90-day implementation plan that defines technical requirements, governance/SOPs, and training & tabletop exercises, and establishes performance metrics.
