Safety and Security – Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

The security of the athletes, spectators and media is in safe hands
Scotland is a safe country and Glasgow is a safe city. Our experienced and discrete approach to security means that walking through the streets, and soaking up the atmosphere of one of the world’s great cities, is rarely a problem.

We have an excellent track record of hosting major sporting, cultural and political events. Whether it is policing the 60,000 people who attend top flight football each weekend, a rock concert by the Rolling Stones at Hampden, or the G8 Summit, our people know how to deal with large crowds safely and sensibly. Their experienced approach will ensure that security measures do not impinge on a first-class Games experience.

In Glasgow, our police and security services have the experience, capability and resource to make sure that the safety of the athletes, spectators and the media is in good hands at all times.
