Overview

  • Seattle confirmed on Sept. 4 that undercover law enforcement will be embedded at all 2025 home games, starting with the Week 1 visit from the 49ers.
  • Officers disguised as opposing fans will look for unruly or illegal behavior, over-intoxication, offensive language, object throwing, harassment, and unauthorized entry.
  • Law enforcement will coordinate with Lumen Field event staff to intervene in real time to keep the venue safe for all attendees.
  • Fans can report disruptive behavior anonymously by texting HAWK12 (429512) during games.
  • The team noted the tactic has precedent dating to 2013, with Sunday’s opener viewed as an early test of the renewed approach.
