Secret Service

  • Because the Department of Homeland Security designated the convention as a National Special Security event, the U.S. Secret Service coordinates all federal assets and the NYPD directs security, with the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and other state and local law enforcements also participating.
  • Precautionary measures that may be used include enforcing security credentials, security fencing and barricading, and the use of bomb-sniffing dogs.
  • The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for planning, directing, and executing all security operations.
