Trump’s Inauguration Using Pricey Security Company To Secure Event

For Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Secret Service has contracted a private security company, Arcus Group LLC, for perimeter security, with a significant cost of $8.1 million. The firm is specialized in managing security perimeters for high-profile events, and their services for the inauguration include providing anti-scale fencing, barricades, mobile command posts, light towers, and even portable bathrooms.

Given the heightened security risks, especially after previous assassination attempts during Trump’s campaign, the Secret Service has gone above and beyond to ensure safety. The cost for private security has increased compared to the $7.5 million spent on Joe Biden’s inauguration, reflecting the rising expenses due to inflation.
