France set to deploy 35,000 security officers for the Paris 2024 Olympics

Posted : 23 May 2023
To defend against risks like drone strikes at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, France will send out 35,000 security and military personnel.
 
160 boats carrying athletes and officials from more than 200 nations will participate in the opening ceremony, which will take place over a 6 kilometre section of the River Seine.
 
Over 600,000 people are anticipated to line the route.
 
"Drones represent a totally new threat," said French interior minister Gerald Darmanin.
 
"We've done a lot of work on the classic threat, whether it's delinquents, whether it is a person armed with a weapon, a bomb... We know how to detect and combat this threat.
 
"The arrival of drones loaded with explosives in the theatre of civilian operations is new. There is no certainty this threat will materialise, but it is the hardest to stop."
 
The first opening ceremony for a summer games to take place outside of a stadium will be in Paris in 2024.
 
The Olympic flame will be mounted on the Eiffel Tower, but not atop the structure, according to the organisers.
 
The 2024 Summer Olympics run from July 26 through August 11, 2024.
