The city of Tampa is gearing up for another Gasparilla and yet again this year, officials want to keep the festivities completely safe. After last year's festival, Tampa police reported very few incidents although more than 300,000 people were estimated to be in attendance. Police reported three people arrested or kicked out, two people reported missing, 16 traffic violations or crashes and three items lost and found. This year, they hope to bring the numbers down to zero. Authorities want the public to know they will be watching along with about 30 local, state and federal agencies. Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw joined officials from Tampa Fire Rescue, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, and other state officials in publicly announcing safety measures being taken for the festivities.
