CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Cleveland police on Friday tightened their security plan for the Republican National Convention after the deadly shootings of police officers in Dallas, increasing surveillance and intelligence operations just 10 days before the convention.
Other police departments across the country required officers to patrol in pairs rather than alone following the ambush in Dallas, the deadliest day for police in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
In Cleveland, the attack raised another potential threat during the July 18-21 convention, when Donald Trump is expected to receive the Republican nomination for president.
The police officers' labor union, rank-and-file cops and some outside experts had already questioned Cleveland's preparedness for the convention with the city's police under federal supervision over use of force.
Ten days before the event, Cleveland was still training police officers for duty at the convention, which is expected to draw 50,000 visitors as well as clamorous protests and crown the most contentious presidential candidate in memory.
Rather than a security team reinforced by the country's largest police departments as it hoped, the city has cobbled together 3,000 officers, mostly from state agencies, who will use borrowed and rented equipment.

The “new norm” in Obama’s Divided States of America.
I agree. If things really get dicey, I would be surprised if Kasich calls in the National Guard. He’ll let Obama call in the troops under martial law. I have such a low opinion of the vast majority of our public officials...total scumbag traitors. Trump has really shown them for what they are.
They may have done a good job on a million who went to celebrate. What will they do with 15,000 hell bent on destruction?
That’s the question.
Bring out as many camera carrying drones as needed. If these “paid” thugs actually thought they could be identified.... some of them would think twice. Especially if they could be traced back to who bused them in and paid them.
Agreed. That's why the used of "deadly force authorization" was directed at "violent domestic terrorist protestors."
Cleveland PD has already told federal officials they do not have enough police to do their normal duties, and the convention, and turn out a SWAT team for anything crazy at the RNC.
I expect the rank and file in Cleveland to pretty much let the snowflakes do whatever they want - a la San Jose.
Trump is not mentioned on the end web page. Interesting.
There will be a major incident there. Mark my word.
You know, if the police are deliberately under equipped and under staffed, this could be a situation like Benghazi which invited the attack. How far will they go to eliminate Trump?
They’re going to do whatever they can to prevent Trump from being nominated.
Trump must not become president. That’s the overriding goal.
I pray for his safety daily.
Look for the NG to be called up as well for the Cleveland convention. Philly will have its share of trouble also. Extra security will have to be called up for both.
Also in regards to Cleveland, look for pro-Trump biker groups to lend a hand.
But he will get nominated and will become the next President.
Prayers for Mr. Trump’s safety as well.
