Police1 hosted an on-demand webinar on 7 November 2025 addressing how law enforcement secures major events from drone threats, particularly relevant for high-profile events like the World Cup, Super Bowl and America 250. Public safety leaders and technology experts shared how agencies are detecting, assessing and responding to unauthorised drone activity. The discussion covered counter-UAS planning, real-time video and sensor integration, and the role of unified communications and Real Time Crime Centre coordination in preventing disruption in restricted airspace. Speakers included Michael O’Shea from UAS LLC who served as program manager at the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Science and Technology for 17 years managing law enforcement aviation technologies, and DJ Smith, senior technical surveillance agent for Virginia State Police with over 30 years of experience in covert technical surveillance and extensive counter-UAS operations experience.
