There are no known security threats to the Super Bowl, authorities said Tuesday as they outlined the coordinated law enforcement effort to keep the game at SoFi Stadium and the Los Angeles region safe.
Fans attending the game can expect an enormous police presence at the stadium, which will have a tightly monitored security perimeter. Meanwhile patrol officers, tactical teams, K-9 units and paramedics will be been deployed across Los Angeles County in the runup to the NFL championship game between the L.A. Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.
The city police department in Inglewood is the lead local law enforcement agency. It will coordinate with the Los Angeles Police Department and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. About 400 deputies were dedicated to the Super Bowl, including extra patrols for the county's transit system, said Jack Ewell, chief of the sheriff's Special Operations Division.
Officials also encourage Super Bowl attendees to work with the law enforcement officials if issues arise.
