Officials from Savannah and Atlanta are heading to Super Bowl LIV in Miami this weekend — to help with security.

Savannah’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers were deployed to help secure the annual championship football game. Atlanta Field Office CBP Special Response Team officers are also on duty with Miami area law enforcement to assist with safety and protection at central locations in southern Florida while supporting other Department of Homeland Security response personnel.

This is CBP Savannah’s and CBP Atlanta’s second consecutive year providing security assistance during Super Bowl celebrations as they helped out during Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta.

Director of Field Operations Atlanta Donald Yando said is happy to help this year.

“We are honored to work alongside our law enforcement brothers and sisters in Miami to ensure the Super Bowl is a safe and secure event, just as they did with us here in Atlanta last year,” he said. “CBP Atlanta SRT and Savannah CBP officers are highly trained and will be critical to the security efforts.” 

Savannah CBP officers are teaming up with other law enforcement agencies to guarantee the security of the game by using Non-Intrusive Inspection vehicle equipment.

This equipment will be used to inspect onsite vehicles making deliveries to Hard Rock Stadium by obtaining an x-ray image of the contents inside of vehicles.
