Special security network ready for Paris 2024 Olympics

Increased security to ensure "the national image of France".

In fact, 20,000 private security personnel and 10,000 soldiers were also mobilized to enhance the ability to prevent and handle crime, terrorism, as well as cyberspace issues.

To ensure security during the Olympics, especially the 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony taking place on July 26, about 44,000 barriers were placed on the streets of Paris, creating a security control area along the Seine River, where only people with a QR code circulation permit are allowed to enter.

Many streets in the security control area have fences installed.

To obtain a permit to circulate in a security-controlled area, people need to prove in their registration documents reasonable factors such as being a resident in the area, working in the area, having a medical appointment with a doctor in the area, or booking accommodation in the area.

In an interview on France 2 television on July 21, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that 4,340 applications for travel in the restricted area were found to be suspicious and were rejected. Among them were 257 radical Islamists and 285 members of far-left and far-right ideological groups.

Metro stations in the Olympic area and some nearby locations were also forced to close. Hundreds of police and gendarmes regularly patrolled the streets.

French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the need to tighten security controls to smoothly organize the world's largest sporting event, while also ensuring "France's national image".

Speaking to Le Monde, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez assured that everything was running smoothly and that no threats had been reported during this period. However, security forces remained vigilant.

According to the French National Cyber ​​Security Agency (ANSSI), learning from the experience of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics where 450 million cyber attacks were detected, the French cyber security force ensures the goal of responding quickly and effectively to attacks, even the most trivial debates, to avoid leading to a negative crowd movement.

In addition to police and gendarmerie forces, 18,000 soldiers have also been mobilized across France to contribute to security efforts for the 2024 Olympics. In the capital region of Ile-de-France alone, this number has reached more than 10,000 soldiers.

While the police and gendarmes are responsible for controlling people's right of passage at the "most sensitive" locations, the army's task is to ensure aviation security, counter drones, patrol and handle violations in the outer zone.

According to information from the Paris Police Department, about 1,750 members of the security forces from 40 other countries are also mobilized to France this summer. Spain is the country participating with the most security personnel, 360, followed by the UK with 245 and Germany with 161. Qatar also confirmed that it will support the French security forces with 105 personnel.

To enter and exit the roads in the security control area, people need to be granted a traffic permit.

In addition, the deployment of advanced technologies called Technopolice, especially video surveillance using algorithms (excluding facial recognition), to promptly detect "abnormal" behaviors is being built and researched for application by La Quadrature du Net.

The 2024 Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, followed by the 2024 Paralympics from August 28 to September 8.

The 2024 Olympics will kick off with men's football matches, with group stage matches from July 24-31.
