Crowd Management

Large crowds are part of life in most schools: assemblies, sporting events, community nights, and other events bring people together with the best of intentions. However, crowds bring inherent safety challenges, and a crowd manager is tasked with making critical decisions to keep them safe. This course will examine common crowd behaviors that crowd managers should consider, the critical need for crowd management in school settings, and strategies crowd managers should implement both before and during an event to ensure that participants stay safe.
