Have a friend wanting to go to the NG Fair, he wants to know if they gangs are under control. He wife doesn't want him to carry with all those people but he's afraid not to. Guess he had a bad experience at the Shrine Circus event last year.
Please let me tell his wife, she'll be safe.
A lot will depend on which night they attend. We anticipate most of the problems to be after dark on Friday and Saturday. But, as far as being "under control", they will be doing their very best. Thus far it has gone pretty smooth, but that can change without notice.
There are over 70 personnel on the grounds on any given night, including response teams. There are also under-cover elements and CAGE (Gang Unit) personnel at the gates and in the crowd.
Only other thing...He will
not be permitted to carry at the fairgrounds. Everyone is subject to search and anyone not in uniform or displaying a badge and police vest will be sent back to their car to leave their weapon. Sorry, but that's the way it has to be.
