When foreign heads of state visit

[Stavro35]

When foreign heads of state visit a major city,who's in charge of the security? I would assume the primary responsibility would be the foreign dignitary detachment of the U.S Secret service,right? I am near Seattle and they of course get visitors from all over the world. I'd like to monitor the goings on with the security details,if possible .

anything related is going to be encrypted......your best bet is to listen to local unencrypted tac channels, who usually give out SITREP's... Ie . King county sherriff, city of seattle, etc..

The foreign dignitaries use their own people, supplemented by DSS, diplomatic security service, which is similar to USSS,except it's a branch of the department of state...

When the Brits are in town they normally bring a portable TETRA repeater.

Correct on Secret Service.

I wonder how they coordinate that. As far as I know TETRA operates on 400MHz so who's frequencies do they use? Don't they run the risk of interfering with other services?

In my experiences with them the SS uses their own frqs.
