After the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and assassination of Charlie Kirk, there will be an improved system of security. Due to Kirk’s death, there is a concern of an increase in crime against other political voices.

The secret service has begun to increase security operations after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. The head of the secret service department has aimed to modernize training methods along with expanding technologies. Director Sean Curran said, “many steps to ensure such an event can never be repeated in the future.” 

Since Kirk’s recent event was similar to Trump’s assassination attempt, we can expect to see another increase in safety and technology at future political events. A potential security improvement could be securing rooftops as both culprits were found on top of buildings near the event. Another potential solution could be monitoring participants or surrounding areas with security not only being near the political speaker, but also protecting the territory around the event.

Outdoor and indoor events

 Congress has begun to limit outdoor and indoor political events immediately after the assassination. An advisor states, “After yesterday’s events, we are postponing out of an abundance of caution.” 

The suspect, Tyler Robinson, sent a message through discord telling to meet at “a drop point.” Future political events could include tracking cyber threats and physical threats to prevent security concerns. 

Expanding safety of outdoor school events

As explained, outdoor school events can prevent unsafe environments by tracking student’s posts and social media. Not only can authorities prevent issues, but other students can too.

Many websites and apps help prevent serious situations. By using these anonymous websites, students can inform adults on issues regarding school threats. The school should inform students more often about different ways to communicate with adults to prevent future safety concerns.
