 National Special Security Event - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A National Special Security Event (NSSE) is a desgnation given by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to particular special events.
In the event an NSSE is declared, the United States Secret Service is charged with employing and coordinating all federal agencies including the various bureaus of DHS, the FBI, and other federal police agencies to secure the venue from terrorist attacks.
Some people believe that this authorizes the federal government to assume federal control of security measures normally employed by local law enforcement.
