Halloween has always been a fun and festive holiday for many, but there are always risks to be considered when participating. This year Salem is following strict steps in order to keep its citizens safe and out of potential danger by increasing the cities security. Over 200 police officers surround Salem square to aid citizens and some were even put into disguise. The city also sent out warnings the real or fake weapons would not be tolerated and could be confiscated if seen or are being used in an inappropriate or dangerous manor. Police will also search attendants bags for weapons, any harmful, or prohibited items, also people will enter at rotations of 100 guest to prevent crowding and confusion. So far the mayor’s and resident’s of Salems main concern is the safety of their guest, and prompt other cities to follow in their footsteps
Written by the CBS Boston post, this post was meant to bring a topical situation in to view with recent violent attacks happening in America. The Las Vegas attack was actually a reason Salem invoked such strict rules. While these rules are strict and tedious they do keep the general public safe from harm. Part of me agrees with the need to have these rules in place, especially if it means saving and protecting lives.
