God, every time I get nervous about pride I have to ask myself:
Are other event planners having the same nightmares as we are?
In order for us to have our permits, we have to have police presence at pride. This year we have security volunteers. The chief of police was pleased to hear that we have our own security team, and expressed that he wished other events folded a watch group into their plans.
Our pride regularly pulls about 500 people in attendance.
The 4th of July festival is in the tens of thousands, and none of their 50 volunteers go through any kind of security training.
They just... yknow... trust the police to do that work.
