Summary[edit]

Description

Two DSS special agents check out the ice at the Gangneung Oval for speed skaters at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. The two agents were part of DSS’ security efforts at the Games, Feb. 9, 2018.

During the Olympics, with host-nation approval, the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) deployed Field Liaison Officers, like the officers here, to designated venues to liaise with the venue security and Team USA.

The DSS Office of Protection, Major Events Coordination Unit is responsible for long-range security planning for U.S. participation in international events and for domestic events with significant international participation, like the Olympic Games.

In the years leading up the event, DSS personnel liaise with host-nation security and law-enforcement officials to coordinate the safety and security of U.S. citizens, athletes from Team USA, American corporate sponsors, and members of the U.S. media during the Olympic Games.
