This project will enhance the intelligence and operational capabilities of our NIMS Type 3 SWAT Team. With the
award of this grant, we will enhance our tactical planning and response capabilities by using a location based
social media monitoring tool that can assist our planning efforts and help make better informed decisions
regarding ongoing or upcoming incidents or events. It will assist with gauging public sentiment during the
planning stages of large scale public events such as major sporting events or concerts and can also help make
informed decisions during actual emergency situations requiring immediate response such as tornadoes or other
natural disasters, active shooter incidents, bombings, barricaded persons, hostage situations or other
emergency type incidents. Regardless of the incident or event being monitored, public safety is the primary
focus. This grant will allow us to retrieve and analyze publicly available data in real-time which will ultimately
increase our effectiveness during times of crisis by increasing our situational awareness ultimately allowing us to
better deploy resources which in turn could save on personnel costs and potentially save lives.

Provide an explanation on the regional impact of this project. Not to exceed 1500 characters, including
spaces
With the approval of this grant, the Frisco Police Department will add to its ability to respond to local
and regional incidents as well as contribute to the overall regional capabilities index. Additionally, the
Frisco Police Department will be able to provide real time intelligence to assist other jurisdictions in
the area who may not have social media monitoring capabilities. Just recently, the Frisco Police
Department received notification from an outside Law Enforcement agency regarding a very large
scale underage party that had gotten out of hand. The other agency was made aware of this
information through the use of a social media monitoring program.
The response to the next three (3) sections should be consistent with the regions (1) Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA); (2) State Preparedness Report; and (3) Texas Homeland
Security Strategic Implementation Plan.
Describe the threats and hazards that create the need for the project (THIRA): Not to exceed 1500
characters, including spaces
Frisco is a fast growing community that draws the attention of large corporations and entertainment
venues. Frisco is home to five large capacity special event venues which host a variety of sporting and
special events including the NCAA Division I Finals, Major League Soccer, minor league baseball,
basketball, and hockey as well as a variety of concerts. Additionally, we will soon be the home of the
Dallas Cowboys Headquarters and training facility. It is not uncommon to have events occurring
simultaneously at all four venues, effectively bringing an additional 30,000 to 40,000 visitors into the
city within a matter of hours. In 2012, the City of Frisco hosted approximately 4.9 million visitors.
While this rapid growth and development is an advantage for the city, it also creates numerous new
risks within the critical infrastructures for the city to protect. These large structures and
entertainment venues are vulnerable to damage, disruption, attack and destruction.
The capability gap which will be addressed by the project: Not to exceed 1500 characters, including
spaces
GOAL 9: ENHANCE COUNTER-TERROR INVESTIGATIONS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
9.4 Objective
Increase law enforcements ability to respond to large scale events including secondary
incidents.
Threats and Hazards Identification: Identify threats and hazards in collaboration with whole
community partners and incorporate findings into analysis and planning process for all mission
areas. Provide all decision makers with decision-relevant information regarding the nature and extent

of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the response.

How will the project reduce the capability gap: Not to exceed 1500 characters, including spaces.
Acquiring this Social Media Monitoring capability will allow our agency to monitor, analyze and assess
real time threats and intelligence which will ultimately increase our effectiveness during times of
events, incidents, or crisis by increasing our situational awareness ultimately allowing us to better
deploy resources which in turn could save on personnel costs and potentially save lives.
