Members of the Chicago Police Department, the United States Secret Service and other federal law enforcement partners on Friday canvassed the areas around McCormick Place and the United Center, where the Democratic National Convention will take place from Aug. 19 to Aug. 22.
As Brooks explained, the yellow area on the map is a vehicle screening area. There's also a vehicle screening checkpoint for the United Center location on Paulina just off West Monroe. Since April, the U.S. Secret Service has been scoping out areas likely to be impacted by the convention. The latest maps released Thursday show the current perimeter. Federal agents told NBC Chicago they want residents to feel as in the loop as possible during preparation and convention week itself."And we are here to bring that message directly to the people who live and work in these neighborhoods," said Joel Heffernan, assistant special agent in charge for the U.S.
