The company providing security to Super Bowl Live, a nightly fan event in Minneapolis connected to Sunday’s NFL championship game, has been replaced because of insufficient background checks on its employees, according to a published report.
EPG Security Group, based in Minneapolis, had been left shorthanded after several of its employees were “yanked away” by federal authorities, a Minneapolis police lieutenant told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
One security guard on duty at the event turned out to be a convicted felon, Lt. Bob Kroll told the newspaper, and then federal agents “did checks on other guys."
The Super Bowl Host Committee replaced EPG with G4S, another Minnesota-based company, the newspaper reported.
100,000 visitors expected
Super Bowl Live is a carnival-like event that has operated on the streets of Minneapolis since Jan. 26, in the run-up to Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. It was expected to attract a total of more than 100,000 visitors, the Star-Tribune reported.
EPG also declined to address the matter. “We are not at liberty to comment on changing security strategies and assignments,” the company told the Star-Tribune.
EPG is the same company that provided security at President Donald Trump’s inauguration and at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the newspaper reported, citing the company’s online posts.

FBI pulled the patriotic security team 48 hours before the Super Bowl. It has intel groups very nervous right now.
If anything happens tonight, then we know Deep State did it.
Pray to the Good Lord that nothing happens, and everything goes smooth.
Prayers up
The FBI had nothing to do with this. It was a private company firing a private contractor.
Don’t read conspiracies into every event.
You are wrong.
According to the article Fox News sites,
“Minneapolis police Lt. Bob Kroll said that the site that EPG was guarding was left shorthanded after several of its officers were yanked away by federal authorities.”
Key words , “by federal authorities “.
Furthermore, it certainly the Feds, and here is the FBI talking about playing a supportive role to the Minneapolis PD. Let me provide you a quote and link.
“The FBI has also offered other expertise and resources, including taking responsibility for credentialing thousands of public safety officers and volunteers who will need varying levels of access to Super Bowl venues.
“We are facilitating the name checks and records checks for all the folks who are going to get credentialed,” Rivers said. “That means volunteers, food vendors, private security people—the number of individuals could exceed 30,000. That’s a huge commitment from our office.”

Them Somalis make good security guards.../s

Your comment shown here says the FBI pulled the company. The article does not say that. It says the company was fired because it could no longer provide the necessary staffing because “fed authorities” pulled credentials. T may very be the FBI doing the credentialing but they did not fire the company.
G4S did NOT replace the security at the game. This was a bogus report. CBTS covered this bogus report on reddit
You stated it was done by a private company did it. That was false.
I proved it was done by the Feds with the quote.
Then, I showed you the FBI is doing the background check with a quote and link. They talk about it on their own web site.
Haha!
Exactly!
