The Secret Service and other agencies, including DC and US Capitol Police, are currently reassessing security plans for the upcoming presidential inauguration after the decision to move the event indoors. This sudden change has prompted a swift response from law enforcement officials, who now have just three days to devise a new security strategy that typically takes months to plan.
Preparations for the inauguration have been in progress since early 2024, with the event designated as a National Special Security Event by the Department of Homeland Security. This classification triggers a comprehensive federal approach to security measures.
