American Veteran Security Company will arrive at 5:00 pm to 9:45 pm to control the vendor access gates at B St, Mendo and D St, with a 4th officer/Supervisor strolling the entire event. (NOTE, This is a change from past years. We feel that Security instead of students is needed at these outpost barriers for proper control of Market barriers, dog enforcement and alcohol boundaries. We will continue to station local students at the 2 side streets at 3rd St. barriers from 3:00 pm to approx 9:30 when roads open.)
