NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Keeping you safe is so important at CMA Fest. Law enforcement says there will be hundreds of extra police officers making sure things run smoothly.
Before you head out the door you should know there are some items that you cannot bring to the event which are items like cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, chairs, coolers, drones, flags, outside food and beverages, and umbrellas.
You can't bring any firearms or weapons.
Metro police say about 355 officers and sergeants will be within the downtown footprint daily for both traffic and security, in additional to the officers who already work at the Central Precinct.
Another way to stay safe is to download the CMA Connect app. It's a guide to what's happening at CMA Fest and if there is bad weather they'll send you a push notification to go to one of the designated shelters.
As a parent, staying one step ahead of the "bad guys" is getting increasingly tough due to the vast landscape of the online world. Like me, if you are raising kids - Phil Williams' latest investigation is a must see. I appreciate the knowledge and practical steps he delivers in this report.
