Editor's note: This is the first installment of a two-part assessment examining the increased threats Paris and the surrounding areas will face amid the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Part one discusses threats from opportunistic crime and protest activity, and part two will focus on extremist threats and cybercrime, as well as the security operation France is launching to counter these threats. The 2024 Summer Olympic Games will increase many types of risk in Paris, including opportunistic crime that threatens visitors and potentially some form of protest activity that could create a variety of disruptions. Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games between July 26 and Aug. 11.
