This year's Super Bowl victory celebrations in Kansas City and Philadelphia will see heightened security measures following violent incidents at past events. The Kansas City police aim to increase their presence should the Chiefs claim victory, while Philadelphia considers measures to prevent fans from climbing poles. Experts highlight the unpredictability of open events like victory parades as a unique challenge for law enforcement, with lessons learned from past tragedies being emphasized to improve safety protocols.
There's a lot of people that'll think twice about attending an event like that, but I still think there’ll be a big turnout," said fan Branson Albertson.
Events like victory parades present unique challenges because they are open, unpredictable and draw large crowds," said Alex del Carmen, an associate dean of criminology.
What we can do is learn from the past, and hopefully last year's lessons were very, very vivid in the minds of legislators," commented Del Carmen.
Kansas City plans to boost its police presence if the Chiefs win, and Philadelphia might grease its poles to thwart climbers if the Eagles win.
