The 'No Drone Zone' started on Feb.3.
Personnel from both agencies will be working full-time to "identify drone activity that could threaten aviation safety, critical infrastructure, or public safety at and around event venues," according to the FBI San Francisco.
Drone operators who illegally enter restricted airspaces can face fines up to $75,000, have their drones confiscated, and answer to federal criminal charges.
"The FBI is legally authorized to use specialized mitigation tools to address unauthorized drone flights and may take action to move aircraft out of restricted airspace while preserving evidence for potential enforcement action," FBI SF added in a news release.
