Law enforcement is preparing for the unknown, and the unwanted, in advance of next summer's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The Secret Service is joining forces with Chicago police this week in Washington, D.C., even though the DNC isn't until August 2024. There is a mammoth effort underway to shore up meeting spaces at the United Center and McCormick Place, dozens of hotels and everywhere in between for when delegates and dignitaries move around the city.
In 1996, when Chicago last hosted a Democratic convention, the city and the world were far different places. September 11 hadn't happened and social media as we know it was still a year away. It's also a new law enforcement team from Chicago at Secret Service headquarters this week for the first briefings on protecting the city, the DNC convention and safeguarding everybody involved.
The Secret Service has unveiled a splashy video aimed at recruiting agents and officers, and agency officials tell the I-Team Chicago police are being schooled in their protective methodology and threat assessment protocols.
