It was one of the many security challenges for the Paris Olympics: finding 2,000 security guards to oversee the unprecedented Olympic opening ceremony, the naval parade on the Seine, scheduled for Friday, July 26. There is an urgent need for an atypical evening planned at the start of the event, which will require an average of 17,000 agents per day with a peak load of 22,000, all in a professional sector already experiencing labor shortages. As expected, the organizing committee (Kojo) was not on the account.
The latter launched the fourth and final wave of tenders in November to find companies in the sector. Sixty lots, half of which were for the opening ceremony, where Paris 2024 is responsible for the safety of the lower river embankments and bridges, which will be able to accommodate up to 104,000 paying spectators.
