LiveSafe App, Vehicle ‘Deterrence’ Among New CES Security Measures, Says CTA

CES attendees should expect to see a “more highly visible law enforcement presence throughout the show and at all venues,” said CTA in a Thursday “security update.” Police officers and K-9 units will be on duty at the entrances to all show venues and on the exhibit floor, it said. New for CES will be a LiveSafe mobile app that show attendees can download from Google Play or the App Store to get safety information, report tips and contact security, CTA said: “Be sure to turn on your locations services for full functionality.” In light of recent vehicular attacks in Berlin, London and New York, “as an enhanced security measure, we are implementing a vehicle deterrence plan in and around key venues,” said CTA. “Please use the areas allocated as pedestrian walkways as you enter show venues.” It also advised attendees to be “sure that your family and friends know how to reach you in the case of emergency.”
