Fifty-three Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) troopers were temporarily sworn in to assist the D.C. police and Secret Service in ensuring security for Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday.
The officers joined hundreds of officers from state and local agencies across the country who have been deputized for the historic occasion.
A video from the THP’s Facebook account on Sunday shared the swearing-in, offering a personal look at this historic event.
The inauguration was moved indoors following forecasts of freezing temperatures on Monday, adding another layer of complexity for security officials involved in the presidential event.
