4 This is a National Special Security Event (NSSE) - The U.S. Secret Service is the lead agency - They will rely on partnerships with Law Enforcement Agencies Federal, State & local - Their goal will be to provide a safe and secure environment for dignitaries, event participants and the public (primarily in Chicago)

5 Our Goal To provide a safe and secure environment for our communities

6 How Could the NATO Conference affect US? An estimated 30,000 protestors will be present in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. EVERY prior summit has had associated protests. Although McCormick Place is the primary venue, there will be meetings at other locations

7 Prior History NATO Germany, ,000 protestors 2,000 or which were considered violent - Black Blocs set fires and destroyed a hotel, post office and pharmacy Lisbon, Portugal Thousands marched - 42 arrested - traffic disrupted by groups playing dead

8 Potential Points of Interest to Protestors - Fortune 500 company headquarters Deerfield, Glenview, Northfield, Riverwoods, Lake Forest, Hoffman Estates, Northbrook, Oak Brook and Schaumburg ( and perhaps CEO private residences) - Disruption to transportations systems - trains/buses - vehicular traffic on expressways or other major thoroughfares - Disruption to the hotels where dignitaries have meetings or will be staying

9 Area Fortune 500 Companies Deerfield Walgreens Fortune Brands Baxter United Stationers Riverwoods Discover Glenview Anixter ILL Tool Works Northfield Kraft Northbrook Macy s (Northbrook Ct) Lowe s (Willow Festival) Unincorporated Northbrook Allstate

10 Hotels The free market will decide where dignitaries, family and staff will stay. The Secret Service does not know who is staying where.

11 If 12 peaceful protestors show up at a business or bank in your community what will your police department do to handle it? Remember the media will also show up

12 What are your police departments doing to prepare? - Attending intelligence and planning briefings - Preparing training for officers - Planning logistics - Planning for incident command center communication during the event - Reviewing mass arrest procedures - Pre-planning with State s Attorney - Securing additional equipment

13 Intelligence/Planning Fusion center collaborative effort to provide resources, expertise to detect, prevent, investigate criminal/terrorist activity. Relevant/ actionable intelligence results from analysis and data fusion. Crime Prevention Information Center Request for information We will ask CPIC to monitor social media sites. We will maintain a relationship, but suggest you keep your own.

14 Northern Illinois Police Alarm System Established in Member Agencies NIPAS Provides for an Emergency Services Team (EST) and Mobile Field Force (MFF)

15 Expectations Often times in situations with such protestors on a local level, departmental resources are overwhelmed and we can not respond in a manner that may be expected

16 Operational Priorities Life Safety Incident Stabilization Property Protection

17 Protest Group Dynamics Lawful demonstrations Any gathering of people during which all laws are obeyed, no threat to life or property exist: speeches, marches, picketing, chanting, leafleting and approaching passerby. Civil Disobedience Civil disobedience is expression through the intentional commission of non-violent crime, disobedience of police: trespass, refusal to comply with orders and passive resistance.

18 Destructive & Violent Protestors Those who destroy property or endanger the safety of individuals. This does not include people present at a demonstration who are not participating in destructive or violent activity. Mob Action Committed by people who KNOWINGLY join together to commit misdemeanors or felonies.

19 Constitutional Considerations Conduct that would otherwise not be tolerated is tolerated during marches, demonstrations and other gatherings that implicate the First Amendment. The courts have told officers to tolerate: yelling, chanting, and ringing bells. Edwards v. South Caroling, 372 U.S. 229 (1988) Use of a loudspeaker in a residential area at night. Sail v. People of the N.Y. US 558 (1948) Volume can be limited if necessary Ward v. Rock against Racism 491 U.S. 781 (1989)

20 Permits May be required. However, for the police on the street, permits cannot be required for simple marches that otherwise obey the law. Demonstrations hastily assembled because of citizens responding to current events can not be expected to seek permits. Vodak v. Chicago 639 F.3d 738 (7 th 2011)

21 What are professional protestors preparing for? Protesters will strive to: disrupt corporate operations through a wide-variety of tactics, including: Building occupations; sleeping dragons; lock-ons; sit-ins; non-compliant/ non-violent traffic disruptions; flash mobs; noise and/ or odorous assaults on/in buildings; hacktivism and smear campaigns against board members and employees. These are just a few of the tactics that have been used in the past. Source: Anarchistnews.org

23 How do they finance themselves? Nuisance Law Suits. During the Summit for the Americas in Quebec City, Black Bloc offenders bled into surrounding areas (suburbs) where police presence was not as large. Steve Ijames Tactical Perspective Force accountability: P/O s must be squared away during a riot, they CAN NOT forget the rules of engagement under stress.

24 Summary Your police department is working with area law enforcement to prepare for the summit In spite of our preparations, activity related to the summit is likely to effect our communities We will continue to keep you informed
