Fencing Consortium: The Great De-Escalator

To support de-escalation efforts in response to critical incidents, and in alignment with recommendations from after-action reports from recent civil unrest experiences, communities from across the seven-county metro area have come together to form a Fencing Consortium. This coordinated effort provides agencies of all sizes access to the fencing in response to no-notice, critical incidents while efficiently sharing resources across multiple jurisdictions in an organized manner. Anti-scale fencing allows for the establishment of designated spaces for protesting which will support the expression of the first amendment right to protest while also protecting government facilities, first responders, and members of the public from violent and destructive actors.
