GREENSBORO --The Greensboro Police Department will help provide security during next month's presidential inauguration.

Next month, 45 to 50 officers will travel to Washington for President Bush's Jan. 20 inauguration.

About 2,000 out-of-town law enforcement personnel have been asked to help with security during inaugural events. Most of the agencies lie east of the Mississippi, Flynt said, except some sending officers from Bush's home state, Texas.

Greensboro police will likely provide security along the parade route, during the ceremony and at other events that day. The officers will arrive several days early for briefings on their assignments.

They will be temporarily sworn in as federal agents because they will be outside their jurisdiction, Flynt said.
