DHS Designates President Ronald Reagan Memorial Service As
National Special Security Event
Be warned... it's likely
that flying anywhere near DC, this week, is going to be even
tougher than usual. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has
designated all of the activities for former President Ronald
Reagan’s Memorial Services as a National Special Security
Event (NSSE).
A number of factors are taken into consideration when
designating an event as a National Special Security Event including
anticipated attendance by dignitaries and the size and significance
of the event.
When an event is designated a National Special Security Event,
the U.S Secret Service assumes its legally mandated role as the
lead federal agency for the design and implementation of the
operational security plan. Federal resources will be deployed to
maintain the level of security needed for the event and the
area.
The Secret Service is responsible for planning, directing and
executing federal security operations at designated NSSEs and,
together with state and local law enforcement partners, develops
the overall security plan. In the Washington, D.C. area, the
Metropolitan Police Department, the U.S. Capitol Police, the US
Park Police and a number of other federal and local agencies will
play an active role in securing this event. In California, a number
of federal, state and local agencies will work together to secure
the memorial activities.
The most recent NSSE in Washington, D.C. was the 2004 State of
the Union Address. In 2004, the Sea Island G8 Summit, and both the
Democratic and Republican National Conventions have previously been
designated as NSSEs.
