The recent rise in political violence has resulted in injuries, assassinations and a culture where there seems to be no end in sight. There is no question that tensions have increased significantly in America concerning political figures appearing at political events. The security team must communicate with local law enforcement to determine their security needs well in advance. The country is highly divided right now, and you can be sure that political violence undermines democracy. Times have changed, and it is now crucial for us to be actively involved in planning political events held in our communities.
