DHS Assigns SEAR Level 1 Security to Charlie Kirk Memorial as Secret Service Takes Lead

The rare designation reflects preparations for one of Arizona’s largest crowds at State Farm Stadium.

Overview

  • The Secret Service is the federal coordinator for Sunday’s memorial, with teams already operating in Phoenix and Glendale.
  • Glendale Police project more than 100,000 people on the property, including roughly 63,000 inside State Farm Stadium for the public service.
  • Authorities plan thousands of uniformed officers and more than 5,000 surveillance cameras, with aircraft, drones and helicopters available.
  • President Donald Trump is expected to attend, and the Department of Public Safety and Secret Service will manage security inside the venue.
  • Turning Point USA says it will cover the venue and security costs, while officials finalize traffic restrictions as attendees face early lineups, no camping rules and 7 a.m. parking lot access with registration requested.
