Next month, crowds of people, politicians and protestors will make their way to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, and Chicago police officers are getting a taste this week of what security around a convention is like.
Chief DeVries said his officers have been training for the conventions for over a year, and they are used to protecting large-scale events. Ultimately, the Secret Service is in charge of protecting the DNC, but Chicago Police will work in close collaboration. Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Department will also assist, along with a group from Milwaukee PD, returning the favor.
“The city has been amazing, the hotel association, the restaurant association,” he added. “They’ve opened up their doors to the officers to get food and shelter, so the city has come together to make it a good event.”
