Dear Beacon Community:
We have our first home football game tonight at 5:30 and I want to remind the community of our security procedures for large-crowd athletic events. Having these nighttime events is very important to us and we love providing a place for our students and the community to cheer on our student-athletes and hang out with each other. We have always developed and implemented strong security plans for these events in collaboration with the Beacon Police Department and our own security staff, administrators, and teacher chaperones. Two years ago, we developed these security procedures and will continue with them this year. These changes are not in response to any specific Beacon-related concern but instead are an attempt to be proactive.
We are implementing the following measures for our large gathering athletic events.
- All attendees at these events are subject to a handheld metal detector security wand implemented by our security personnel. This measure is in place in many local schools at their events and professional athletic events, concerts, etc.
- We ask that bags and backpacks not be brought into the event. In the event that a bag cannot be placed back in a vehicle, it is subject to a brief inspection by our security team.
- Single point of entry to our events. Once you leave, you cannot reenter the event.
- No pets or animals are allowed.
- No scooters, bikes, or e-bikes are allowed.
We will have these measures in place at some of our athletic events this winter as well. Please bear in mind there may be a short wait time if you attend our games. We will make changes as needed and keep you all updated.
I hope to see you at these events!
Sincerely,
Matt Landahl
