In the wake of recent mass shootings, the Los Angeles County Fair’s operators are beefing up security, bringing a higher level of scrutiny to the annual summer celebration of carnival rides, high-calorie snacks and farm animals.
“In light of the environment, we’ve made significant investment to make sure our guests and employees are safe,” said Miguel Santana, chief executive of Fairplex, a private nonprofit that operates the fair,at its 487-acre facility in Pomona. “We always take security seriously but we’ve made a deliberate effort to strengthen our security system.”
Americans are anxious about attending events with large crowds, DeMeo said, so it makes sense that organizers announce publicly their security improvement projects. , including metal detectors to screen guests. The move was an acknowledgment by the theme park industry that past insistence on discreet, behind-the-scenes security didn’t go far enough to protect visitors from potential attacks.Disneyland Resort spokeswoman Lisa Haines declined to discuss whether any additional safety enhancements have been made at Disneyland and California Adventure except to say: “We continually review our comprehensive approach to security.
The extra security is being added as Fairplex tries to build on a financial rebound from years of deficits and fluctuating attendance numbers.
