French River Police Training for Olympic Opening Ceremony

French river police conducted a training session on the Parisian river in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics opening ceremony later this month. The preparation involved honing their skills to ensure the safety and security of the event.

Grand Spectacle on the Seine

During the opening ceremony, more than 90 boats will carry over 10,000 athletes along a 6-kilometer route on the Seine. The unique open-air event, set against the backdrop of Paris and its iconic landmarks, is scheduled to take place at sunset and is expected to captivate spectators for nearly four hours.

Security Measures and Police Operation

A significant police operation is planned for the ceremony, with Paris police chief Laurent Nunez announcing the deployment of approximately 30,000 police officers daily. This number is set to increase to 45,000 officers specifically for the opening ceremony on the river Seine. The police force will be reinforced by around 18,000 military personnel throughout the competition.

• Boat Security: River police units, in collaboration with other police entities, will be responsible for securing the fleet during the parade.
• River Bank Security: Measures will be taken to ensure the safety of the Seine river bank during the event.

Spectator Attendance

Approximately 220,000 invited and security-screened spectators are expected to occupy the upper tiers of the riverbanks, while an additional 100,000 paying spectators will be positioned along the lower riverside and around the Trocadéro plaza to witness the grand ceremony.
