He adds that officers, along with the K-9 Unit, will be at the front gate checking for contraband.

The Deputy Commissioner is calling on all spectators to be mindful while cheering for their favorite schools.

He is calling on all drivers to respect the rule of law while coming to the games.

Acting DCP Raikaci adds that drivers who intend to drink should not drive and urges drivers to take into consideration the lives of all road users.
