Summary
$1.8 million is Dallas' estimated police security cost for the Republican National Committee's Sept. 9-10 midterm convention at American Airlines Center, where officials expect about 20,000 visitors.
Sept. 7 through midnight Sept. 11, the city will close several streets around the arena — including Victory Avenue and North Houston Street — and shut the DART Victory Park station.
President Donald Trump will attend both nights and speak on Sept. 10; Sept. 9 speakers include Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance.
Dallas said it will track convention spending and seek grants or reimbursements using procedures similar to those used after federally declared disasters and for the FIFA World Cup.
