In recent years, the United States has witnessed an alarming rise in political violence targeting elections and elected officials. From swatting incidents and bomb threats to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, targeted shootings of lawmakers, and arson at the home of a governor, these threats undermine public trust and pose significant risks to the physical safety of election officials, law enforcement, and voters.

As leaders on the front lines of democracy, law enforcement plays a pivotal role in ensuring that elections remain free, fair, and secure. The cooperative efforts of law enforcement and election officials, years-long preparation, and coordination across all government levels prove critical in conducting safe and secure elections.

This session will explore how partnerships between election officials and law enforcement agencies helped ensure the integrity and resilience of the 2024 election and the lessons learned from law enforcement across the country that will help as they look ahead.

This session will also identify and analyze all the bomb threats and hoaxes that targeted the 2024 election, provide law enforcement with a clear understanding of what happened, and discuss best practices to mitigate this threat in future elections. It will also discuss new emerging threats such as drones and how they could be used to create chaos and destruction, before or on election day.

By analyzing case studies and real-world outcomes, participants will learn how collaborative efforts by law enforcement and election officials bolstered voter confidence, addressed security threats, and supported the execution of secure elections. In addition, state-specific law enforcement quick reference guides and other resources will be provided.
