Heightened Security Measures Anticipated for Future Trump Visits to the Valley
Amid a second attempted assassination on former President Trump, the question arises – will a future visit to the Valley come with increased security efforts?
With experience coordinating travel for former Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Frank Thorwald predicts a larger security detail for Trump.
“There does need to be more security, much more security than what we currently have now or in the past,” Thorwald remarked about Trump’s U.S. Secret Service detail.
Thorwald anticipates Trump will avoid outdoor events for the remainder of the campaign season, opting for indoor venues like those in Glendale and Tucson. This change will be accompanied by an influx of Secret Service agents and local law enforcement members, some visible to the public and others not.
Memories of the 1981 assassination attempt on former President Reagan haunt Thorwald as he expresses surprise over the recent assassination attempts on Trump’s life.
Concerned about the potential for more attacks, Thorwald emphasizes the need for a reduction in harsh political rhetoric from all sides to prevent further violence.
Phoenix Police Prepared for Potential Trump Visit
The Phoenix Police Department assures residents of their dedication to ensuring safety for all, especially in the event of another Trump visit to the city. They collaborate closely with the U.S. Secret Service to provide necessary support and maintain communication with local, state, and federal agencies for coordinated protection efforts.
