“The Department of Homeland Security is fundamentally a department of partnerships, and those partnerships are critical to ensuring the safety and security of Super Bowl operations as well as that of the surrounding community,” DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas stated in a press release issued by the DHS.
DHS support for Super Bowl LVI includes more than 500 DHS personnel providing extensive air and maritime security resources; chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives detection technologies; venue, cyber, and infrastructure security assessments; and intelligence analysis and threat assessments.
