On August 10, local time, the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics Organizing Committee assured the global media that they would take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and fairness of the games. Organizing Committee Chairman Casey Wasserman and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass attended the press conference. The press conference attracted the attention of many international media, among which safety and fairness were topics of common concern to reporters from the East and the West.

The reporter from China Central Radio and Television first asked Wasserman about the potential security risks caused by the United States' gun control issues and the long-arm jurisdiction granted to the United States by the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act, which may pose a threat to the fairness of the Los Angeles Olympics.

In this regard, the president of the organizing committee, Casey Wasserman, said that the US Olympic Committee and the Paralympic Committee have been working hard to ensure that the Los Angeles Olympics is fair to all participants. At the same time, he said that Los Angeles is a very safe city, and the mayor and the city council are constantly working to improve the city's safety level.

Wasserman also stressed that their top priority is to make good preparations to address all possible challenges - whether in safety, operations or other aspects, and strive to bring an incredible Olympic Games to the world.

Then Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporter Steve Futterman asked about the safety of the event. He said that since 2001, the safety of the Olympics has received more attention, and even the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics could not ensure absolute safety. In response, Futterman asked Wasserman whether the Los Angeles Olympics had a plan to ensure safety.

Wasserman responded that the Los Angeles Olympics received a special security exemption from the United States in January this year, three years earlier than any previous Olympics. This means that the federal government has begun to actively participate in the work to ensure the safety of the Olympics. In addition, there is a team of experts in the field of public safety involved in supervision. At the same time, Los Angeles has a lot of successful experience in hosting large-scale global events to ensure the safety of the Olympics.
