Crime often gets the headlines but actually the thing that worries me most is the crowd density and the potential for a mass casualty event.
We did have to step in a number of times to reduce crowd density in order to save life. The carnival is an incredibly challenging event to police.
Mr Twist said moving the event to a new location is among many options that could help make it more safe, as huge crowds make it difficult for officers.
Our priority is to ensure that the carnival is safe, with clear roles and responsibilities, while working in partnership to address our statutory responsibilities.
