Secret Service Leads SEAR Level 1 Security for Charlie Kirk Memorial

Federal agencies are tracking unverified threats to the public service at State Farm Stadium.

Overview

  • The Department of Homeland Security designated the memorial a Special Event Assessment Rating Level 1, the highest tier used for events such as the Super Bowl.
  • The U.S. Secret Service is the federal coordinator, with teams already deployed in Phoenix and Glendale, according to Special Agent in Charge William Mack.
  • A multi-agency memo says several threats of unknown credibility are being monitored, with no verified plot identified and lone offenders assessed as the top concern.
  • Organizers and Glendale police outlined enhanced measures including advance registration, a no-bag policy, a ban on overnight camping, and restrictions on personal drones.
  • The Sunday service is open to the public and expected to draw high-profile attendees including President Donald Trump, while suspect Tyler Robinson remains in custody without bail on murder charges.
