Workshop on Museum Security at
MPMA’s Conference in Denver
October 15-19
Closing Your Eyes Won't Make the Threat Go Away
Presented by Robert N. Layne, CIPM, Executive Director, International
Foundation for Cultural Property Protection
Steve Layne, CPP, CIPM, CIPI, Principle, Layne Consultants International
Museums, as well as the American public, continue to be concerned about
proliferating terrorism threats, especially with regard to the
vulnerabilities of "soft target" public places. Those individuals or groups intent on
doing harm are increasingly difficult to recognize and identify. "Lone-wolf"
attacks are almost impossible to predict, and difficult to prevent. While
these threats do exist, so do best practices for mitigation and response.
This workshop addresses the step-by-step, practical methods that may be
accomplished by museums and cultural institutions of all size and scope,
regardless of budget, staff size, and mission. Workshop participants will learn
how to recognize potential problems, and how best to deal with these
problems in a safe and reasonable manner, including reporting of incidents or
suspicious persons, improving staff awareness, and de-escalating potentially
violence confrontations.
Managers will also learn how to better prepare for the worst-case
scenarios, and to avoid unnecessary losses, litigation, and injury. The workshop
leader will demonstrate how to develop or enhance policies and procedures,
develop or update site-specific emergency plans, involve all staff and
volunteers in the planning and response process, establish or enhance
relationships with local emergency response agencies, and conduct regular practice
exercises. Recommendations will be based on practical, low-cost (or no-cost)
protection strategies.
