A
A
The
best
part
about
working
here
in
Minneapolis
is
this
is
one
of
the
friendliest
places
on
earth
literally
Minnesotans
have
been
so
kind
and
so
generous
and
so
friendly
to
us.
Since
we've
been
here,
it
has
been
quite
a
pleasure
to
work
here.
As
you
know,
though,
there
are
some
challenges
with
putting
the
Super
Bowl
Super
Bowl
on
here
in
Minneapolis,
the
stadium,
as
you
have
realized,
does
sit
in
the
heart
of
the
city,
so
pretty
tightly
wedged
in
the
center
of
the
city
and
building
out
a
secure
perimeter
took
a
little
creativity.
A
Another
challenges,
I'm
sure
that
you
have
already
figured
out
is
it
gets
a
little
chilly
here.
There
is
a
heat
wave
today,
but
I
assure
you,
and
the
days
that
I've
been
here,
we've
hit
a
few
cold
temperatures,
which
makes
some
challenges
for
us
this
year,
however,
is
the
first
year
that
we
have
remote
satellite
checkpoints
checkpoint
screening
operation
that
would
offer
door-to-door
service
from
your
entry
from
the
time
you
get
screened
into
the
stadium
ticket
holders.
A
Now,
for
this
Super
Bowl
we'll
have
the
option
to
park
for
free
at
the
Mall
of
America
and
go
through
screening
there
and
take
an
express
ride
on
a
Blue
Line
train
to
the
front
door
of
the
stadium
arriving
already
inside
of
the
massive
security
perimeter
that
you
see
going
around
the
city.
This
is
by
far
and
I
want
to
reiterate
this.
This
is
by
far
the
easiest
and
the
warmest
way
to
get
into
the
stadium
on
game
day.
A
Round-Trip
tickets
are
still
available.
There
is
a
website,
Metro
transit
org,
so
for
those
of
you
plant
still
planning
your
way
in
I
would
recommend
that
safe,
smooth
transportation
into
our
secure
perimeter,
the
trains
on
game
day
will
be
departing
from
the
Mall
of
America
at
12:30,
1:30,
2:30
and
3:30
for
those
fans
that
are
planning
to
come
and
are
watching
today.
Please,
please,
please,
please
do
not
come
late.
A
Come
early,
we
have
the
gates,
are
open
at
1:00,
there's
a
lot
of
fantastic
things
that
you
can
do
and
see.
Once
you
get
inside
of
the
stadium
once
you
are
inside
of
the
stadium,
it
is
a
warm
toasty,
70ish
degrees.
So
if
you
wait
until
4:00
o'clock
to
try
and
come
in
and
get
into
the
stadium,
you
will
likely
have
to
do
some
waiting
to
get
through
security.
Everyone
also
should
expect
to
spend
some
time
out
in
the
elements.
A
This
is
very
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
coming
here
and
visiting
for
the
Super
Bowl
to
please
dress
appropriately,
even
if
you're
only
out
for
a
few
minutes,
it
can
get
quite
cold
here.
You
need
to
dress
in
layers.
Hats
gloves
scarves
covering
your
extremities,
comfortable
shoes
or
boots.
I
will
say
please
for
security
purposes,
do
not
come
with
battery-operated
heated
clothing.
You
will
not
be
able
to
get
through
security
with
that,
so
no
battery-operated
heated,
Sox
jackets
and
clothing
once
you're
inside
the
stadium,
again
its
climate
controlled.
A
A
The
primary
law
enforcement
responsibilities
here
in
Minneapolis
rests
with
the
local
county
and
state
authorities,
but
we
do
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
support
from
our
federal
government
as
we
have
and
passed
your
super
goals
and
they
provide
a
tremendous
amount
of
assets
to
get
us
through
and
have
gotten
us
to
this
point
in
the
last
couple
years
in
demonstrating
that
support.
We
are
honored
here
today
to
have
secretary
Kirsten
Nielsen.
A
B
B
So
from
boarding
an
airplane
to
walking
into
the
stadium,
cheering
fans
can
be
sure
that
DHS
and
our
federal
partners
are
here
to
support
our
state
and
local
officials
in
securing
the
site
and
DHS
works
very
closely
in
these
instances
and
types
of
events,
obviously,
due
to
its
size,
its
scope,
it
is
and
can
be
an
attractive
target.
We
don't
have
any
credible
or
specific
threat
Intel,
but
we
will
continue
to
actively
monitor
channels
with
our
international
partners
and
being
close
in
constant
contact
with
all
of
the
folks.
B
You
see
behind
me
from
a
federal
perspective.
We
have
about
1700
or
so
federal
officials
that
we've
brought
to
bear
to
support
our
state
and
local
partners
about
700
of
those
are
from
DHS.
We
have
done
everything
from
help
prepare
on
the
front
end
we'll
be
here
during
the
event
and
then
certainly
in
the
unlikely
event
that
something
occurs
we'll
be
here
to
support
the
state
and
locals
who
are
here
on
the
ground.
I
want
to
thank
Kathy
and
thanks
for
her
invaluable
service,
both
in
DC.
B
We
miss
her
as
our
chief,
but
also
all
that
she
does
for
the
NFL
and
to
secure
these
games
that
we
all
have
a
good
time.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
the
entire
Twin
Cities
area,
Public
Safety
team,
the
FBI
many
many
others,
as
you
see
behind
me.
So
over
the
past
18
months,
DHS
has
really
been
involved
actually
for
pretty
much
two
years,
but
over
the
past
18
months,
we've
conducted
over
200
different
security
assessments
of
the
critical
infrastructure
in
the
surrounding
area.
B
We've
provided
counsel
and
recommendations
on
protective
measures
resulting
from
those
assessments
and
we've
hosted
about
52
trainings
in
the
area
on
topics
ranging
from
active
shooter
through
to
cyber
bombing,
any
sort
of
hazard
or
event
that
could
occur.
These
trainings
are
very
powerful.
They
help
mitigate
risk.
They
also
help
bring
us
all
together.
You
know,
there's
the
old
expression.
You
don't
want
to
be
exchanging
business
cards
during
an
event.
B
Information
sharing
notification
and,
in
addition
to
that,
DHS
is
also
guarding
our
economic
security.
So
you
will
see
agents
out
looking
for
counterfeit
tickets,
counterfeit
merchandise
and
making
sure
that
our
economic
interests
are
secure
as
well.
Last
year
alone,
these
efforts
resulted
in
a
seizure
of
over
two
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
counterfeit
sport
related
items
worth
an
estimated
twenty
million
dollars.
So
this
is
also
a
real
threat
that
we
face
some
days,
such
as
Superbowl
for
soft
targets.
We
talk
a
lot
about
soft
targets
at
DHS.
B
The
Superbowl
is
actually
a
great
example
of
how
we
prepare
for
that.
A
year
round.
We
work
with
state
and
locals
with
private
sector
owners
and
operators
to
make
sure
that
those
vulnerability
assessments
are
conducted,
and
then
everybody
is
aware
of
how
a
venue
can
support
evacuation
if
and
when
needed
and
how
people
can
be
notified.
B
So
generally,
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
upper
two
before
I
turn
it
over.
To
this
will
give
you
more
detail
to
thank
everybody
and
to
the
fans
to
play
an
active
role.
You'll
see
signs
when
you're
in
the
stadium
that,
if
you
see
something,
please
do
say
something
call
9-1-1,
there's
also
a
text
number
that
you'll
see
on
the
screens
during
the
event.
This
is
it's.
This
really
important,
you're
there
you'll
notice.
B
If
you
do
see
something
suspicious
and
if
you
do,
we
ask
that
you,
let
us
know
and
then
we'll
track
it
down
and
make
sure
that
it's
nothing
to
cause
any
alarm
and
other
than
that
to
the
fans.
Have
a
wonderful
game,
I
myself,
hope
to
see
Cathy
and
others
next
year,
when
the
Tampa
Bay
Bucs
will
get
through
the
playoffs
and
will
hopefully
be
at
the
Super
Bowl
next
year
and
other
than
that.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleagues
here
to
give
you
some
more
details.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
A
So
again,
this
is
the
culmination
of
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
a
lot
of
dedication
by
a
lot
of
different
groups
and
I
know
I
speak
for
the
commissioner
and
thanking
all
the
local
law
enforcement
and
public
safety
partners
who
have
been
just
tremendous
with
us
over
the
past
two
years,
none
more
so
than
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
They
have
really
I
would
swear
after
coming
from
Houston
or
the
police
department.
A
That's
you
know
four
times
as
large
that
this
Police
Department
is
every
bit
as
large,
with
the
amount
of
planning,
experience
and
resources
they
have
dedicated
to
making
sure
the
community
is
integrated
into
the
Super
Bowl
activities
and
Super
Bowl
events,
and
that
we
have
a
great
event.
So
thank
you
so
much
chief
for
your
your
efforts
here
so
before
we
go
through
and
speak
with.
All
of
our
local
law
enforcement
partners.
A
C
Thank
You
Cathy
good
afternoon,
I
am
Alex
Koo
Special
Agent
in
Charge
for
Homeland
Security
Investigations
in
Minnesota.
I
am
also
this
year's
federal
coordinator.
The
federal
coordination
team
is
honored
to
have
worked
closely
with
a
local
law
enforcement
community
for
the
better
part
of
two
years.
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
chief
arredondo
and
commander
Scott
Gallacher
of
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
as
well
as
FBI
Special
Agent
in
Charge
Rick
Thornton.
They
have
been
exceptional
partners
from
the
very
onset
of
planning.
C
I,
extend
my
sincere
gratitude
and
respect
to
secretary
Neilson,
as
over
27
Department
of
Homeland
Security
agencies
and
components
have
deployed
for
this
year's
Superbowl,
along
with
numerous
other
federal
agencies.
The
unity
of
effort
by
the
interagency
partnerships
has
been
outstanding,
bringing
forth
critical
assets
and
capabilities
to
the
Twin
Cities
area.
C
The
deployment
of
numerous
high-resolution
cameras
at
critical,
intersections
and
junctions
throughout
Minneapolis,
with
complete
video
downlink
capabilities,
direct
engagement
with
the
intelligence
community
and
to
rapidly
receive
and
disseminate
threat
information
to
all
of
our
incident
commanders,
human
trafficking
and
counterfeit
merchandise
teams
consequence
management
assets
and
the
department
is
also
dedicating
resources
in
support
of
Minneapolis
Police
Department
to
ensure
the
departure
of
fans.
Postgame
is
safe.
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
to
the
bold
north
in
this
beautiful
state
of
Minnesota,
as
well
as
the
numerous
special
events
that
you
can
enjoy
throughout
the
week.
C
A
You
know,
even
as
we
have
the
perimeter
of
the
will
now
lockdown
and
and
we
are
getting
closer
to
to
game
day
it
just
I,
enjoy
when
I
go
out
and
I
see
the
officers
from
the
Minneapolis
PD
working
with
us,
taking
selfies
with
people
who
are
arriving
in
the
city
and
coming
here
to
enjoy
the
game.
So
that's
great
leadership
and
that
great
leadership
starts
with
the
chief.
So
I
will
turn
it
over
now
to
you
chief.
So
you
can
talk
about
your
members
here
in
my
office.
D
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
chief
Madera
Arredondo,
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
I,
want
to
first
start
by
thanking
Madam
Secretary.
Thank
you
for
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
the
incredible
amount
of
the
assets
and
safety
assets
and
capabilities
that
you've
brought
for
us
to
have
a
very
safe
and
welcoming
event
here
in
our
city.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
also
want
to
thank
chief
Lanier
from
the
NFL,
also
for
your
support
leadership
and
helping
us
again
to
have
a
very
safe
and
welcoming
Superbowl
52
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
D
As
was
mentioned,
Super
Bowls
in
previous
cities
have
had
really
the
support
and
luxury
of
having
a
large
personnel
to
accomplish.
These
Minneapolis
were
very
unique
in
the
sense
that
we
really
do
require
and
rely
upon
a
teamwork
in
terms
of
our
Minnesota
law
enforcement.
The
men
and
women
standing
behind
me
are
part
and
parcel
of
that.
There
is
no
way
and
I
want
to
stress,
there's
no
way
that
we
could
even
attempt
to
do
this
without
the
great
partner
ship
of
Minnesota
law
enforcement.
D
That
means
our
local
state
or
county,
and
our
federal
partners
they've
been
absolutely
tremendous
in
making
sure
that
we
have
a
very
safe
and
welcoming
Superbowl.
We
have
had
over
60
law
enforcement
agencies
around
the
state
that
will
be
that
have
been
activated
and
participating
in
this,
and,
and
certainly
as
the
madam
secretary
would
tell
you.
Super
Bowl
has
changed
a
lot
since
we
last
so
stood
this
in
1992.
D
Since
then,
our
world
has
changed
and
we
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that,
as
a
symbol
of
our
freedom
for
Americans
to
get
together
and
enjoy
their
pastimes,
we
have
to
make
sure
and
ensure
that
their
safety
is
first
and
foremost.
And
so
these
are
some
of
the
assets
that
we
are
bringing
here
to
the
city.
D
I
do
know
that
there
are
probably
some
in
our
community
that
are
not
used
to
seeing
such
a
robust
Public
Safety
presence,
but
I
I
will
stress
again
that
it
is
for
their
safety,
and
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
make
sure
that
Super
Bowl
52
here
in
Minneapolis
is
a
very
safe
again
and
welcoming
environment.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
Madam
Secretary
again
for
you,
chief
Lanier,
thank
you
and
again
the
men
and
women's
standing
behind
me
that
support
our
efforts.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
You
know.
The
number
of
federal
agencies
that
have
been
engaged
in
this
effort
has
been
quite
extensive
pleasure
for
me
planning
these
events
that
it's
kind
of
like
Old,
Home
Week
from
my
federal
partners
from
Washington,
DC
and
I.
Don't
want
to
leave
out
the
important
role
that
the
FBI
has
played
to
help
us
here
with
our
planning
and
through
a
game
day
and
making
sure
that
we
were
all
safe.
E
Good
afternoon,
as
Kathy
said,
my
name
is
Rick
Thornton
I'm,
the
special
agent
in
charge
of
the
FBI
for
Minnesota.
So
one
bad
thing
about
going
last.
Is
everybody
gets
to
steal
on
my
talking
points,
so
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
different
direction
here,
but
but
just
as
the
New
England
Patriots
and
the
Philadelphia
Eagles
have
put
together
a
game
plan
to
prepare
for
every
possible
situation
they
could
face
on
Super
Bowl
Sunday
law
enforcement
has
done
the
same
thing:
the
entire
law
enforcement
team.
E
All
the
people
you
see
up
here
on
the
dais
have
worked
together
to
anticipate
every
possible
situation.
We
may
be
asked
to
deal
with.
We
developed
a
plan
to
do
so.
Philadelphia
and
New
England
coaches,
they've
done
the
X's
and
O's
develop
their
game
plan,
and
it
will
soon
be
the
players
job
to
execute
that
plan
in
law
enforcement.
It's
the
same
thing.
We
planned
we've
trained
it's
game
time
for
us
and
we
are
ready
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
and
to
take
care
of
anything
that
comes
our
way.
E
We
are
all
eagerly
anticipating
this
Sunday
and
our
chance
to
do
our
part
to
make
this
a
safe,
secure
and
enjoyable
event
for
everybody
for
the
law
enforcement
professionals.
The
Super
Bowl
is
about
planning,
preparation
and
partnerships,
as
has
been
said,
everything
that
we
and
everything
that
we've
done
has
been
a
collaborative
effort
among
dozens
of
local
state,
county
and
federal
law
enforcement
of
public
safety
agencies,
the
FBI
for
our
part,
we
are
proud
to
be.
E
You
know
to
be
a
part
of
this
in
to
play
an
important
public
safety
role
each
year
in
in
securing
the
Super
Bowl
as
part
of
the
overall
public
safety
effort.
We
contribute
significant
personnel
and
technical
resources,
and
one
of
the
things
we
do.
That's
that's
unique
is
we.
We
operate
the
intelligence,
Operations
Center,
which
is
sort
of
the
nerve
center
for
all
Super,
Bowl,
related
intelligence
and
threat
information.
The
center
collects
and
analyzes
threat
and
intelligence
from
from
all
over
the
world.
We
get
it
from
foreign
and
domestic
law
enforcement
and
intelligent
partners.
E
E
One
of
the
things
that
makes
the
FBI
unique
is
among
law
enforcement
agencies
is
the
fact
that
we
support
these
sorts
of
major
events
in
the
United
States
and
across
the
world
on
an
ongoing
basis,
whether
it's
the
Olympics,
whether
it's
the
presidential
inauguration
oral
cup
or,
of
course,
the
event
we're
here
to
talk
about
today,
the
Super
Bowl.
We
support
that
these
events,
as
does
our
partners
at
DHS
on
an
ongoing
basis.
E
The
FBI's
Critical
Incident
Response
Group,
is
part
of
the
FBI,
which
has
the
responsibility
to
coordinate
the
deployment
of
all
these
specialty
assets.
You
heard
my
good
friend
Alex
mentioned
some
of
the
things
that
DHS
brings
to
the
table.
The
FBI
brings
many
of
those
same
capabilities
to
complement
the
overall
effort.
We
bring
those
to
the
event
whether
it's
tactical
teams,
whether
it's
aviation
assets,
crisis
management,
you
know
counter
explosive
exports,
you
name
it.
We
bring
those
capabilities
to
the
to
the
event.
E
Here,
when
the
other
things
we
do
as
the
nation's
preeminent
law
enforcement
agency
as
we
bring
a
variety
of
investigative
capabilities,
whether
it's
our
Joint
Terrorism,
Task,
Force,
participating
and
the
human
trafficking
task
force
and
our
whole
host
of
criminal
national
security
and
cyber
investigative
capabilities,
I
want
to
thank
chief,
Arredondo
and
Commander
girl
here
for
their
leadership
for
the
entire
mentaly
hapless,
Police
Department,
all
the
partners
behind
me,
certainly
sa
siku
for
taking
on
the
thankless
job
as
the
federal
coordinator,
and
it
is
a
thankless
job.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Buddy
you've
done
a
great
job
with
that.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
law
enforcement
partners,
everybody
that
has,
as
the
chief
said
and
and
and
Kathy
and
the
secretary.
You
know
this
is
a
team
effort.
So
again,
thanks
to
thanks
to
everybody
and
finally,
I
want
to
thank
Kathy
and
the
NFL
for
allowing
the
hundreds
of
FBI
employees
that
that
participate
in
supporting
this
event
the
opportunity
to
take
part
in
this
truly
marquee
event.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Since
you
mentioned
the
truly
thankless
job
and
the
really
really
hard
work,
there's
probably
next
Alex,
nobody
who
has
done
more
hard
work
on
the
ground
and
dealt
with
more
complex
issues
here
around
the
play
of
this
rule
than
scott
girl
occur.
He
is
not
only
a
daily
text,
buddy
of
mine.
He
sends
me
texts,
messages,
letting
me
know
what
the
windchill
factor
is.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
Kathy
Kathy
brought
her
big
heavy
winter
jacket
and
some
heavy
winter
boots
and
sounds
like
this
weekend.
We
may
need
it.
It's
gonna
get
colder
yeah.
Thank
you.
We've
been.
This
is
a
really
a
combination,
as
was
said
of
two
years
of
planning,
not
just
by
myself,
but
by
hundreds
of
people
across
really
the
metro
area
in
covering
all
aspects
of
Public,
Safety,
police,
fire,
emergency
management,
medical
and,
as
has
been
said,
we
are
ready.
F
We
have
a,
although
there's
a
number
different
agencies
involved
locally
and
60
different
law
enforcement
agencies
from
around
the
state.
We
truly
are
a
unified
command,
a
unified
structure,
we're
all
speaking
the
same
language.
We
have
been
working
together,
training
together
and
we
are
absolutely
ready
for
anything
that
may
come
our
way.
We
hope
it's
just
cold
weather
and
that's
it.
F
Something
say
something
what
specifically
to
look
for
and
how
specifically
to
report
that,
because
truly
they
are
the
eyes
and
ears
out
there,
and
we
would
highly
encourage
folks
anything
this
week
that
they
might
see
that
they're
just
unsure
about
approach,
a
police
officer
approach.
Remember
the
Minnesota
National
Guard
they
have
been
trained,
they
know
what
to
do.
You
won't
have
any
problem
finding
any
of
them.
There
will
be
a
strong
and
is
a
strong
law
enforcement
presence
out
there,
that
is
by
design.
F
But
having
said
that,
we
have
been
training
these
folks,
these
national
guard,
these
Minnesota
law
enforcement
officers.
They
are
friendly
and
engaging
they've,
been
taking
pictures
with
folks
out
there.
They
can
remain
vigilant,
but
also
be
very
engaging.
So
that's
really
the
goal
of
this
operation.
We
want
folks
to
leave
the
Twin
Cities
thinking
two
things
number
one.
This
was
the
best
Superbowl
that
I've
ever
attended
number
two.
It
was
the
most
coordinated
and
most
professional
law
enforcement
presence
we've
ever
had.
F
If
we
can
accomplish
those
two
things,
I
think
from
a
public
safety
perspective,
we've
been
successful.
So
a
big
thank
you
to
all
the
partners
behind
us
and
the
hundreds
more
out
there,
and
especially
to
our
coordination
team
they've,
been
great
to
work
with.
We
are
a
relatively
small
organization
and
so
having
people
like
Alex
ku
to
reach
out
to
and
say
Alex.
We
need
50
people
for
this
or
we
need
this
type
of
equipment.
Every
single
one
of
those
requests
has
been
met
and
exceeded
to
our
expectations.
F
So
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
our
federal
coordination
team
and
the
support
that
we've
had
with
the
federal
government.
Really
no
no
entity
out
there.
No
government,
no
community
could
pull
a
Super
Bowl
off
an
event
of
this
magnitude
without
federal
support.
So
having
secretary
Nielsen
here,
I
think
is
an
important
step
to
have
and
I
think
we're
extremely
grateful
here
in
our
community
to
have
that
federal
support.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
A
Thank
you
Scott
and
respect
to
the
Secretary's
time,
I'll,
just
quickly
close,
the
most
important
thing
for
you
to
remember
for
us
to
get
into
the
Super
Bowl
enjoy
our
game
day
and
have
a
great
event.
It's
just
plan
your
trip.
We
do
have
a
website
that
can
put
up
for
you
that
you
can
go
to
and
you
can
look
at
what
prohibited
items
are
what
the
screening
process
is.
Where
you
can
go,
please
come
early,
please
dress
appropriately.
The
weather
is
probably
going
to
be
a
little
bit
cold.
A
He
will
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
outside
if
you
go
to
our
remote
screening
sites,
Mall
of
America.
Take
that
get
that
ticket.
Take
that
train
right
in
it's
the
quickest
warmest
easiest
way
in
to
the
perimeter,
but
come
early
early
early.
Please,
and
we
don't
want
everybody
showing
up
before
clock,
but
those
are
the
most
important
things
for
us.
We
have
you
your
safety
and
the
safety
of
everybody
else
well
in
hand.
