Long before the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals took the field at SoFi Stadium on #SuperBowl Sunday, the #FBI began working to ensure the event would be a safe one.
.@FBILosAngeles trained with federal, state, and local partners for more than a year to gear up for any security challenges that might arise around the #SuperBowl, and stood up a 24/7 Intelligence Operation Center at its field office.
And on top of its in-house intelligence, cyber, and investigative capabilities, @FBILosAngeles had tactical and specialty teams deployed with their counterparts or on standby in case backup was needed.
