E-9 trusted advisors relieve base commanders of the administrative burden in a number of base installation focus areas including event management, facilities and building maintenance support and event security. E-9 provides 24/7 armed, uniformed Force Protection Officer Support to the Air Force’s Initial Flight Training (IFT) school house, barracks, flight line and aircraft in Pueblo, Colorado. With a staff of over 25 full time Force Protection Officers trained in non-lethal and lethal means of force E-9 ensures the safety of U.S. and foreign military officers as they are instructed on how to pilot a aircraft. E-9 developed the force protection plan and constructed all protective measures at the facility to make it a harder target for terrorists and criminal activity.
E-9 Enterprises provides a pool of over 400+ part time unarmed security personnel and event support staff to the Athletic Department at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) for all National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) games. E-9 provides front line security, traffic control, parking, ticketing, gate access and screening control, ushering, Field security, and Eye in the Sky monitoring for all USAFA Football and all other athletic specialty events.
E-9 has provided unarmed security for various NCAA and other events held in the Colorado Springs area, including football, basketball, volleyball, and hockey games; water polo, swimming, and track meets; lacrosse and wrestling matches; cadet graduations; myriad special activity events including USAFA Superintendent receptions and events, ward ceremonies, andUSAFA cadet in-processing. Additionally, E-9 has provided unarmed security for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and many large-scale music concerts, including such headliners as Tim McGraw. These events can see crowd participation of up to 50,000 guests from the public and include large numbers of Military personnel comprising senior USAF, USAFA Cadets, and other Military Services Flag Officers and Senior Military civilians. E-9 works with the Secret Service when high value assets are present, e.g. The President of the United States at Graduation 2016. We supplement Secret Service screening operations, “eyes in the sky,” (our staff are positioned on roof tops and at strategic locations throughout the event area), and cordon-off areas to restrict public and unnecessary personnel access, including foot and automobile traffic.
E-9’s highly visible staff are the first individuals the visiting fans of Air Force athletic events meet when entering an event, therefore their very first impression is met with professionalism and courtesy.
