National Football League Security Checks Detroit police ready to execute security plan for NFL Draft

National Football League (NFL) Security ChecksShow more

- As the NFL puts the finishing touches ahead of Thursday, Detroit police are doing final checks on their security plan, which they've been developing over the last year.

On Tuesday, K-9 Officer Hobbs was at the NFL Draft theater conducting one of the many sweeps fans will see during the three-day event.

He's assigned to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, one of the agencies helping Detroit police secure the high-profile event.

They'll get support from the so-called Casper unit, plainclothes officers who blend into the crowd that may hit max capacity.
Security screenings will take place at entrance points to ensure no weapons make it in, and police want parents to know this:

"We all need to be responsible for kids who may be out here, not to just drop them off and leave. Be responsible adults. We will be enforcing curfew. If your children are down here, have an adult with you at all times," Fulgenzi said.

If a child wanders off, have them approach an officer who can contact the dispatch center to help them reunite with their parents.

And parents, make sure you have a plan with your family in case cell service is spotty. #OnePride #Detroit
