Lanier said that during the past 18 months, more than 40 law enforcement agencies were involved in planning security efforts to ensure fan experiences remained safe and convenient. She stressed that such inter-agency coordination was imperative to ensure venues and events remained safe and secure. When asked if law enforcement agencies would monitor people using facial-recognition technology, Lanier refused to say whether agencies were using such technology but acknowledged that agencies had deployed many surveillance cameras to increase situational awareness.
Ken Hunter, active director for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said the agency expects about 100,000 travelers to visit the Valley for the Super Bowl and surrounding events. Hunter urged everyone to plan their trips accordingly. “This is a chance to be able to make sure that we can educate people about the horrors of human trafficking,” Sullivan said. “And we’ll continue to do that work every day, whether it’s this week or the weeks after the Super Bowl as well.”
However, he said he felt extensive planning and support from other Valley agencies will allow residents and travelers alike to enjoy events in Scottsdale and across the Phoenix area without too many disruptions.
