California sends police officers to support Republican National Convention in Wisconsin

To enhance security measures at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, California has deployed 61 law enforcement officers to Wisconsin through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) in support of local, state, and federal law enforcement partners at the Convention.

According to a statement from the California state government, the request for these agents was planned since May 2024 and is being coordinated by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). 

The deployment includes 40 members of the California Highway Patrol and officers from the Bakersfield, Fresno and Long Beach police departments.

“Public safety transcends party lines. California is proud to support our law enforcement colleagues in Wisconsin during this important political event. Working together, we are helping to provide a safe environment for all participants at the Republican National Convention,” said Governor Gavin Newsom.

It is worth noting that the Republican Convention takes place from July 15 to 18, 2024, and at this event, the United States Republican Party selects the nominees for president and vice president in the November presidential elections.

“California’s peace officers are well-trained and experienced in handling large-scale events, and we are confident in their ability to enhance security operations in Milwaukee,” said Nancy Ward, director of Cal OES.  

California officers will work in conjunction with public safety agencies at the event. Their responsibilities may include crowd management, traffic control, and ensuring public safety for the duration of the convention. 

Former President Donald Trump is the 2024 presidential candidate, the first to be nominated for president for the third time since Richard Nixon in 1972, and the first Republican candidate to be nominated three consecutive times. 

Trump lost the 2020 re-election election against Joseph Biden, but he could return to the White House again, this time accompanied by vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who at 40 years old, would be the third youngest vice president in US history.

If elected in November of this year, Trump, at 78, would be the oldest president elected in US history, breaking Joseph Biden's record in 2020 (at 77).
