39 days. 104 matches. 6.8 million spectators. One mission: keep the American people safe. The FBI worked around the clock with federal, state, local and international partners to secure the largest sporting event in history. Together, law enforcement shared intelligence, protected venues and addressed threats before they could put fans at risk. By the end of the tournament, nearly 1,600 drones had been detected in restricted airspace and more than 700 operating illegally had been seized. It was a massive security operation, and it worked because agencies at every level planned early and operated as one team.

How does the FBI train for evidence collection? The FBI Jackson Evidence Response Team hosted an evidence collection workshop to strengthen local law enforcement's evidence collection capabilities through hands-on training and instruction.
