Pasadena Police To Begin Parade Watch Program

CBS) PASADENA, Calif. People camped along the route of the Tournament of Roses Parade will be asked to keep their eyes open for suspicious activity as the Pasadena Police Department begins its Parade Watch Program Friday.

The program is modeled after the Neighborhood Watch Program, but works with the help of people staying in motor homes and recreational vehicles near the parade route.

"Essentially, we are asking people who will be right there on the route to be our eyes and ears. We are asking them to get involved and report any type of suspicious activity ...," said Pasadena Police Chief Bernard Melekian.http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_362195326.html

Thanks Vel. I worry about these type of parades. Unlike big arena events (Super Bowl) you can't check everyone at the gate when it's a parade.
