Paris 2024 to deploy 30,000 police a day after Liverpool Champions League final chaos

The Paris 2024 Olympics plans to have around 30,000 police on duty per day following the chaos at last season's Champions League final.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were put at risk after a series of failures including dangerous overcrowding and poor policing at the Stade de France as the Reds were beaten by Real Madrid. Large groups of supporters were crammed into an underpass with some fearing for their lives as they tried to make their way into the stadium.

Fans were also tear-gassed by French police, who were accused of using dangerous forms of crowd control as a priority over safety. The French government pledged to ensure fan safety at future events and have taken a major step forward in their plans for the Olympics in 2024.
