Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris stated on Tuesday that the state police had a specific role in supporting the Secret Service during the Trump rally in Butler on July 13. The operation plan put in place involved 32 members who were tasked with two main responsibilities.
The first responsibility was to conduct a motorcade operation for the transportation of former President Trump in coordination with the Secret Service. This involved ensuring the safe and secure movement of the former president during the event. The second responsibility was to man and staff security posts within the secure area of the Butler County Farm show. This was crucial in maintaining a secure environment for all attendees and officials present at the rally.
