Security Information

Q: Who is responsible and involved in providing security
for the Games?
A: The Westchester community works closely with a wide variety of local, state and federal agencies to determine the security needs for the Games.

Q: What are credentials and why are they needed?
A: Credentials are visible identification badges for athletes and coaches to help the Westchester community security team determine who should be admitted into Games venues, and to keep venues secure. Credentials also provide the athlete’s medical information and delegation head and parental contact information on the back. If credentials are lost, replacement credentials are available at the hub. Spectators are also required to obtain a spectator pass which permits them entry into Games venues and Opening Ceremonies only.

Q: Will there be security at all venues?
A: Yes. The Games will be held at a number of sites in and around the JCC in addition to opening and closing ceremonies and evening events. There will be adequate security and Games personnel to assure that participants get to and from the various venues and events in a timely and safe manner
