Crowd Safety

Stay Smart in a Crowd

Large events and busy spaces require extra attention, so a little preparation and awareness can help you move confidently and keep your group safe. 

  • Stay aware.
    Secure your belongings, and avoid displaying valuables in plain sight. 
  • Create a quick reference just in case.
    Take a quick photo of your kids before entering large events to share with police if they go missing. 
  • Be alert.
    Watch for distractions or suspicious behavior. 
  • Identify exits on arrival.
    Choose a meeting spot for your group. 
  • Be prepared.
    Keep your phone charged, share your location with someone you trust, and stay alert for pickpockets. 
  • Zip it.
    Keep bags zipped at all times. 
  • Follow emergency procedures.
    In emergencies, stay calm, move toward less crowded areas, and follow event staff or police instructions.
