## Resource

West Fest this year rolled out major security upgrades after last year’s incident, deploying more officers—visible and undercover, plus K-9 units and cameras—to keep everyone safe. Attendees, including families like Russell Bishop’s, praised the proactive steps, citing trained officers and heightened presence as reassuring. While metal detectors were avoided to preserve the festival’s open vibe, organizers struck a balance between safety and inclusivity, with police emphasizing crowd-monitoring training to handle any situation.
