The World Cup is going quite smoothly from a law enforcement perspective at least so far.
Tuesday is the sixth day of the month-and-a-half event with matches going on in New Jersey, Boston, Kansas City, and San Francisco.
Rich Frankel is the former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Field office in New York.
"The good news is they started about a year ago," Agent Frankel said. "Working with private security, FIFA security, local law enforcement, federal law enforcement, state law enforcement, federal intel agencies, and even the military."
Another way to look at this from a security standpoint is how local law enforcement is working directly with federal law enforcement while at the same time working internationally with security in Canada and Mexico.
Frankel says an organization within the State Department has been preparing to work directly with Canada and Mexico.
"That organization has been working on this, again, for probably a year," Frankel said. "Coordinate between the three countries, making sure people who are going between the three countries are able to do so."
He says it's also important that U.S. law enforcement knows that all American citizens traveling for matches in both Canada and Mexico will be under the same security as within the United States.
