2010 Keynote Address

Managing Violence in Open Environments
Stevan P. Layne, CPP, CIP
Principal
Layne Consultants International (LCI)

This timely and important keynote will help facility executives prepare their responses to active shooters in the workplace. While most programs addressing this topic focus on armed response or how to lock down the facility, this keynote presentation will encompass all of the alternatives, including pre-planning with local law enforcement, designating safe areas if lock-down is needed, and emergency communications for the whole facility. Layne will also discuss the last resort philosophy -- attacking and disabling the shooter -- when there's no other choice.

CEO and principal consultant for Layne Consultants International, Layne is a former police chief, public safety director, institutional security director and is the Founding Director of the International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection (IFCPP). He is the author of The Business Survival Guide, The Cultural Property Protection Manual, and co-author of Suggested Practices in Museum Security. He produced and directed a series of video programs for Basic Security Officer Training. Steve is a graduate of the FBI’s Police Management Program.

Lanye and his firm are responsible for protection management planning, system design/specification, and officer training at over 500 public institutions, governmental agencies, cultural properties, industrial sites, retail complexes, health care facilities, lodging facilities, and more. He serves as an expert witness in cases of due diligence, workplace violence, sexual assault, and security management. He has been designated as the outstanding presenter at numerous national conferences and business gatherings, speaking at over a dozen major events annually.

Layne is responsible for the development of national certification programs offered by the IFCPP for security officers, supervisors, managers, and administrators. He has initiated compliance training for governmental agencies and contractors, to include Maritime Security (MARSEC), National Park and National Historic Site Protection, Cultural Property Security, and Industrial Security Officer Basic Training.
