DENVER (CBS4) ― With the Democratic National Convention less than two weeks away, CBS4 has learned some of what security planners are preparing for.
Multiple law enforcement sources talked to CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass about their contingency plans, provided they were not identified.
Planners have studied past protests from around the world and looked at tactics used by demonstrators in previous protests. They're hoping that research will help them respond effectively to whatever might occur in Denver during convention week. The Secret Service has been sharing information with local security authorities.
One of the major concerns: protestors using cars to block roads and intersections, or setting fire to junk cars in an attempt to jam traffic, create bottlenecks and prevent delegates from getting where they need to go.
Maass was told police will be ready in the event demonstrators attempt to block the doors of downtown hotels where delegates and dignitaries will be staying.
While most of the concern revolves around the downtown area, security forces are also readying contingency plans in case anyone attempts to block access to or from Denver International Airport by parking or abandoning cars on Pena Blvd, the primary route in and out of the airport.
We've also learned about a thousand protective suits are being distributed to frontline officers who may be in direct contact with demonstrators. The suits are designed to protect officers from chemical or biological attack.

I suspect that the democrats will throw urine and other forms of human waste at law enforcement officials.
And now I hear of Hillary putting her name on the ballot for a "roll call" vote? Is that like a delegate floor vote?
What a circus the democrat party is.
How can this be?
This is a meeting of the political party of compassion, fairness and hope. There should be nothing but peace, love and understanding in Denver during the convention.
..must be a real b1t(h to live in constant fear and lothing of real americans...
I can just see it now. Live broadcasts of fist-fights between Clintonistas and Obamaloids on the convention floor, while outside thousands of black-clad anarchist teenagers and aging hippies w/gray ponytails throw rocks at anyone who can’t get out town for the weekend. Will the cops be allowed to crack some skulls? One can only hope.
Pass the popcorn!
The ‘Rats should select Roswell, NM as their permanent convention site. Perfect meeting place for the alien creatures known as commie libs.
As well they should - the place will be crawling with democRATS.
They should plan for the worst because that is what they will get.
Hell, I'd be out there throwing my own just to see a copy punch a hippie!
Better yet, "don't tase me bro!"
Of course they're preparing for the worst.
