Haystax Common Operations Platform by Secure Passage Powers Security for Sunday's Big Game in New Orleans
New Orleans, LA – [FEBRUARY 12, 2025] – As millions of fans tuned in for the biggest game of the year, the law enforcement and emergency response teams in New Orleans relied on cutting-edge technology from Secure Passage to protect life, prioritize public safety, and ensure a safe and seamless event. The Haystax (Hx) Common Operations Platform, deployed with on-site personnel, served as the backbone of security operations, providing real-time situational awareness and coordination for law enforcement, first responders, and event officials.
With thousands of attendees converging on New Orleans, the ability to consolidate and visualize critical data for enhanced decision-making was paramount to the Public Safety Mission. The Hx Common Operations Platform unifies multiple layers of critical data and information—including computer-aided dispatch, news and threat feeds, live traffic information, weather updates, and dynamic asset mapping overlays—into a single, intuitive interface. This transformative capability empowered responders to pivot quickly, mitigate risks proactively, and respond with speed and precision, for a safer environment for all people in and around the stadium.
"At Secure Passage, we believe that security is ultimately about the safety and security of humans and their property” said Gary Fish, Chairman & CEO of Secure Passage. “The Haystax Common Operations Platform gave law enforcement and first responders the real-time intelligence they needed not only on Sunday but also in the weeks and days leading up to the big game, helping ensure a safe, seamless experience for everyone.”
“Our partnership with event security teams goes beyond deploying cutting-edge technology,” Gary continued. “We’re on the ground with them—collaborating, adapting, and ensuring our platform delivers exactly what they need, when they need it. Human security is at the core of our mission, and we’re proud to have played a pivotal role in keeping the big game safe.”
The platform’s advanced, real-time intelligence dashboard connected decision-makers with up-to-the-minute updates on crowd dynamics, safety alerts, and weather developments. By keeping every stakeholder informed and aligned, Secure Passage enabled law enforcement to stay steps ahead, helping ensure both public safety and operational excellence across the city.
"Secure Passage's Haystax platform gave the City and our private sector, local, State, and Federal partners critical information sharing and situational awareness capabilities," said Richard Chatman, Deputy Director, of the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. "Having real-time access to consolidated, operational data facilitated efficient collaboration that enabled us to provide a secure experience for fans, staff, and the broader New Orleans community."
As large-scale events present increasingly complex safety challenges, Secure Passage remains dedicated to enhancing human security through real-time intelligence, collaborative tools, and actionable insights – empowering responders to protect communities and adapt to ever-evolving threats.
