Overview
- City and federal officials outlined plans at a news conference on Thursday detailing visible security measures that begin Friday, Sept. 4 and expand into street closures during Sept. 7–11 near the American Airlines Center.
- The U.S. Secret Service said the operation covers intelligence sharing, credentialing, access control, vehicle barriers and checkpoints, and that it is not tracking any credible threats to the event.
- Planned street closures will affect Victory Avenue, North Houston Street, Nowitzki Way, Payne Street and North Field Street, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit will close Victory Station for the convention.
- Dallas estimates about $1.8 million in security costs for police and first responders and is documenting expenses and pursuing reimbursements and grants to avoid shifting the bill to local taxpayers.
- Officials urged protesters to remain peaceful and respect restricted-access zones, and the FBI urged the public to report tips to help agencies manage safety during the two-day convention that includes President Trump.
