The aim of this concise paper is to present and to examine critically the security policy planning of the
Olympic Games 2004 (OG 2004) which took place in Hellas. More specifically will be examined the strategic
management of security forces which were involved in them, the crisis management system which was
developed in order to combat any event, incident during the Olympic Games and further to ensure the secure
conduct of them. Furthermore will be analyzed the role and the contribution of one of the basic Law
Enforcement Agency (LEA) in Hellas, the role of the Hellenic Coast Guard in this security policy.
It is noted that Hellas was the smallest country that has ever organized modern Olympic Games. Because of its
size, the international interest and the participation of many people of the entire world activated the whole state
machine and the total of forces in order to be ensured the secure conduct of them.
