Description
St. Pete police officers will be in full force throughout June as Pride events take over downtown. St. Pete Police Chief Anthony Holloway said his department is ready for a busy month, including any unexpected curveballs that may be thrown their way.
"As we move more toward the Pride Parade, then there'll be more conversations each and every day to just see if there are any credible threats in the Tampa Bay area. Our intel unit will also be talking to more people and will be having more contact with the organizer of pride," Holloway said.
St. Pete Pride is the biggest pride parade in the Southeast, with roughly half a million people expected to attend.
"All officers, their days are canceled for the week of pride," Holloway said. "Because we want to make sure we have enough resources available, just in case anything happens during Pride Week."
