Case Study: Video Management System Installed To Secure Super Bowl XLII

For the Phoenix, AZ Police Department, Super Bowl XLII was much more than a festive, one-day event. The Super Bowl not only attracts tens of thousands of visitors, as well as journalists, support staff for the team and everyone who's anyone in U.S. sports — and there's always the fear that the game's high profile would make it a prime target for unrest, violence or even a terrorist attack. To extend its reach and city-wide situational awareness, the Phoenix PD decided to add a layer of video surveillance, especially downtown where most of the events related to the game took place.
