Los Angeles: On October 30th, 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 World Series. To celebrate this momentous occasion, a victory parade has been scheduled for Friday, November 1, 2024. As we celebrate our Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Police Department encourages all fans to celebrate safely and responsibly.
Here are some essential safety points for all attendees along the parade route:
Arrive Early and Stay Alert - Get to the parade route early to secure a safe viewing spot and avoid crowding later. Stay aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to law
enforcement or event staff immediately.
Respect Barricades and Boundaries - Stay behind any barricades, ropes, or designated boundaries along the route. This helps maintain a safe distance from the buses and keeps the route clear.
Limit Alcohol Consumption - Enjoy the festivities responsibly. Excessive drinking can impair judgment, and open containers are prohibited. Follow all local laws regarding alcohol.
Keep Track of Personal Belongings - Secure your valuables, avoid carrying large bags, and be cautious with personal items, especially in crowded areas.
Have a Meeting Spot - If you're attending with family or friends, choose a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated. Cell service may be spotty with large crowds, so plan accordingly.
Avoid the Streets - Players will be on buses, so for everyone's safety, avoid entering the street, especially when the buses are passing by.
Respect Emergency Vehicles and Personnel - Keep pathways clear for emergency personnel.
Follow directions from LAPD officers and other emergency staff to ensure a safe environment for all.
Watch for Updates - Check official LAPD social media or news updates for any last-minute changes to the parade route or safety protocols.
Enjoy the celebration safely, and let's keep this a joyous event for everyone in Los Angeles!
