Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 9 Vice President Pete Casuccio said the team consists of front-line officers, dialogue officers and officers who are bike-trained.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — There is an increased law enforcement presence at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Security was going to be tight before the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, and now it has intensified.
“As a police officer, that's our biggest priority is making sure everyone is safe. When someone doesn't go home at the end of the day, that's hurts all of us,” Casuccio said. “In incidents like that when you have a large-scale operation, it will be an incident commander who will be assigned and they will retain control of the event until it is secured,” Casuccio said.
