Four Police Scotland officers will travel to the US to act as liaison and support Scotland fans at the World Cup.
Two officers will travel as a “moving delegation” working with fans while the other two will be based at the International Police Co-ordination Centre.
Police Scotland said it is standard practice for football matches and already happens across Europe and the UK.
The moving delegation of officers will support Scottish citizens at fans zones, around the stadium and at transport hubs.
For Scotland fans travelling to the World Cup, engagement and cooperation with local police will help make it an enjoyable trip
Chief Superintendent Neil MacDougall said: “It’s an exciting time for Scottish football fans.
“Police Scotland’s role will be to act as a liaison for travelling Scotland fans at the World Cup and support event organisers in this country with safety advice at fan zones.
“For Scotland fans travelling to the World Cup, engagement and co-operation with local police will help make it an enjoyable trip.
“Visit the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office website for useful advice on travel and passports.
“For people visiting fan zones in Scotland, we are encouraging the public to trust their instincts and report anything that doesn’t feel right to security or the police.”
Scotland will play their opening match against Haiti at Boston Stadium in Foxborough in the early hours of Sunday UK time and will face Morocco there and Brazil in Miami later in the tournament.
Police said they have been building a positive relationship with the Tartan Army in the run-up to the tournament, which takes place from June 11 to July 19 in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Police Scotland has led online and in-person briefings bringing together the Scottish Football Association (SFA), fan representatives, Boston, Miami and Providence Police Departments, and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Law enforcement officers from the US and Canada have also been visiting Police Scotland since early last year to learn about the Scottish approach to policing major events.
More than 75 officers from police departments in Miami, California, Missouri, Toronto and Vancouver have been involved in the initiative.
