The Diplomatic Security Service is the law enforcement arm of the U.S. State Department and has a major role in helping to secure international events and work with international partners like the French authorities in preparation for the Summer Games. Their main priority is to secure the Games for Team USA and other American entities at the Games.
DSS has been involved with the protective security of U.S. Olympic athletes since the 1976 Olympic Games in Montréal, Canada — the first Games after the 1972 Black September terrorist attack in Munich, Germany, where members of the Israeli Olympic team were held hostage and killed.
