Safety is one of the biggest problem at large gathering events such as cultural festivals, music concerts, marathons, and churches. There have always been mass shootings, terrorist attacks. People have been afraid of going to the large gathering events since terrorist attacks of September 9th 2001. “For events like ours we’ve been updating our security since 9/11”, said Less Smith (Fenton and Nayan). People have been scared of going to the event with large gatherings because of these terrorist attacks. The biggest thing for police is to make sure that people are safe, and are enjoying their time at the event. “The biggest thing for police department is we want people to enjoy the event. We want to do our part to make sure it’s safe” (Fenton and Nayana). This shows that police department always tries its best and make sure that everybody is safe and having a great time, enjoying the event. Safety is one of the biggest obstacle at large gatherings and events, in order to make these large gatherings safe, there is a need of more security, such as police officers, searches of personal items, such as backpacks, and public itself also plays a big role by cooperating with police department in any condition.

...thon race say that, “You will see added security out there: Police will be checking the course overnight Friday into Saturday morning. Police dogs will do bomb sweeps of local streets before the runners take off”’ (Cohen). Searching the event area before the event and during the event makes it safer, and it eliminates doubts of the people and the police department itself. Public has always played a big role in the large gathering events. When public cooperates with police department, it makes it easier for police department and for public too. So in order to make a large gathering event more successful and safer, public and police has to work together and make sure that everyone is safe and having their great time. This is also the revenge of attacks such as Boston Marathon bombing, Beirut bombing, and other bombings that took place in different parts of the world.

    According to Kelling, Pate, Dieckman, & Brown (1974), patrol is the “backbone” of police work. This belief is based around the premise that the mere presence of police officers on patrol prohibits criminal activity. Despite increasing budgets and the availability of more officers on the streets, crime rates still rose with the expanding metropolitan populations (Kelling et al., 1974). A one year experiment to determine the effectiveness of routine preventive patrol would be conducted, beginning on the first day of October 1972, and ending on the last day of September 1973.
