Prioritizing Partnerships

When it comes to a top-notch security program, good relationships with external entities are paramount to success. It's a concept Josh Ball, Director of Public Safety at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky, has prioritized. I've been here going on 12 years now and historically speaking, we were very siloed from our partners, says Ball. When I was promoted to assistant director, one of my goals was to start breaking down those silos. The fruits of his team's labors showed when President Trump was in Louisville recently. The local Secret Service field office had nothing but praise for how well Ball's team worked with all the federal and local agencies involved.
