The FIFA World Cup put public safety doctrine to its toughest test yet — dozens of venues, millions of attendees and thousands of jurisdictions operating under one umbrella of risk. But the real lesson wasn’t about the stadiums. It was about everything around them: The transit systems, power grids, airports and communication networks that a single disruption can turn into a cascading, multi-agency crisis.
In this session, Dataminr’s Dan Pearce — who led analysis and OSINT teams for the Metropolitan Police Service during the 2012 London Olympics and supported security operations analysis for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — joins LAPD Detective Oliver Malabuyo to examine what mega-events are teaching law enforcement about protecting the infrastructure that keeps cities running under pressure. Together, Dan and Oliver will explore how agencies are shifting from reactive, siloed approaches toward a common operating picture that spans jurisdictions and domains — because the earliest signs of a critical infrastructure crisis rarely come from one clear source. They emerge as fragments: a transit alert, a spike in chatter, a local report. On their own, they’re easy to dismiss. Together, they can mean the difference between staying ahead of a situation and playing catch-up.
With November’s U.S. elections and the 2028 LA Olympics both testing that same playbook at national scale, this webinar looks ahead: What agencies must build now — in real-time situational awareness, cross-agency interoperability and AI-driven signal detection — to protect the infrastructure that mega-events and high-stakes civic moments put under the most strain.
By attending this webinar, you will learn:
- Key takeaways from World Cup-scale security operations, applied to critical infrastructure protection.
- A framework for cascading risk detection across transportation, power, and communications infrastructure.
- What a “common operating picture” looks like in practice for multi-agency coordination.
- How agencies should be preparing infrastructure protection plans now for November elections and LA 2028.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
- Chief of police
- Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) Director
- Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) analyst
- Homeland security director
- Special events coordinator

* Please note the Q and A portion of the webinar will only be available for live event attendees.
