NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier assured the public that security constantly evolves based on the latest intelligence. Despite no credible threats since January 1, Lanier confirmed that extensive law enforcement and intelligence sharing have been organized in partnership with state, local, and federal agencies.
