We all remember the quick and effective US Secret Service agent’s response to the assassination attempt made by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30, 1981.

However, we use this event as a learning point as the reactive measures, while they saved his life, were not enough to save the President from harm. Many protocols were changed after this event and as such we try not to have an event dictate our policy, but our forethought and threat analysis.

Stay safe, JML
