New Orleans is preparing for Super Bowl LIX on February 9, expecting over 100,000 visitors amidst heightened security following a deadly attack on Bourbon Street. Local, state, and federal officials have coordinated further safety measures, including aerial surveillance and increased law enforcement presence. The Department of Homeland Security has upgraded security assessments for both the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras, enhancing funding and resources. Measures will involve special agents, SWAT teams, drones, and more to ensure the safety of visitors and residents during these high-profile events.
We are doing everything we can to address the gaps that the New Orleans Police Department and the Louisiana State Police might have, said Eric DeLaune.
Security efforts for both events will include special agents stationed on rooftops and in the crowds, SWAT team members on standby, and surveillance drones.
