Behind the scenes How local law enforcement assists with presidential visits

Coordination between local agencies and the Secret Service before a Presidential visit is essential and well-practiced by this and most other federal agencies. Any agency assisting in Secret Service operations should have its own briefings internally. Join the Co-host Chiefs on Thursday at 6PM CST. They discuss the concerns surrounding how a gunman was able to go undetected by law enforcement before those in the crowd spotted him. Lessons learned from the Trump assassination attempt may help prevent another of like kind. The burden of protection doesn't just fall on the Secret Service alone, however. Local officers are needed as well.
