Teen takeovers—large, illegal gatherings organized through social media—have become an increasing challenge for law enforcement agencies and communities across the country. These events often escalate quickly, creating public safety concerns, disrupting businesses, and resulting in death and serious injury in some cases.
In this webinar, Chief Harry P. Dolan (Ret.) will utilize recent case events to explore effective strategies for preventing, managing, and investigating teen takeovers. He will examine the role of social media monitoring, intelligence gathering, crowd management fundamentals, post-incident investigations, and collaboration with elected officials in order to give officers on the ground clear rules of engagement in policing teen takeovers.
Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying emerging trends, developing operational response plans, coordinating with elected officials, and implementing evidence-based practices that enhance public safety.
