Panic, it’s the police

Panic, it’s the police

By Martin Reed
Date: July 18, 2006

Expect more than just thousands of concertgoers roaming the Snow King Amphitheater when popular jam-rock band Widespread Panic performs Wednesday.

At least a dozen uniformed and undercover officers will patrol the concert. The police presence resembles that of last year’s show by the band that generated numerous drug arrests.

“We’d be foolish not to take note of that and respond accordingly,” Chief of Police Dan Zivkovich said Monday. “So with the past pattern of drug arrests that are there, we certainly are going to have an extra contingent of officers on hand.”

At last year’s Jackson show, police issued drug- and alcohol-related charges to at least 10 people. Police arrested six people and ticketed four people on various charges including three drug felonies.

Among the arrests were a 26-year-old Mississippi man who allegedly had about 27 ounces of psilocybin mushrooms in 45 individually wrapped packages. Police arrested two others for possession of mushrooms, marijuana and Ecstasy.

“Ideally we would not make any arrests. I would rather be criticized for having a few extra officers there without having anything to do” than the opposite, Zivkovich said.

Officers will focus on “stopping any drug transactions and drug use that are going on up there and we’ll have extra officers on hand to do that,” the chief said. “At the same time, we’re hoping the dozen arrests that were made last year will send the message to the folks that this isn’t the place to come and do that.”

Jackson police had 10 officers and the sheriff’s office had two deputies working last year’s show, along with six members of the Citizens Mounted Patrol. Last year’s attendance was about 3,500 people.

This year’s concert has a capacity of 4,200 people and the show must end by 11 p.m. In addition to the officers, members of the horseback patrol will monitor the venue’s boundary.

So true for most police officers. I have met very few police officers that think for themselves. What do you expect though, most officers arent even required to have a college degree, how can they be expected to think. They are choosen because they DONT think for themselves.

The most police I have ever seen at a widespread panic concert was in Boone, NC in 05'

INSANE amount of undercovers, plenty of arrests, no lot to speak of, it was weird.

good show though, #1 because I didn't go to jail and #2 because it was kickass in general.

Suggestion to the bands PR people  like theyre going to read this :smile:.

Neway  When hightimes puts on an event they put out a huge table with Donuts and coffee specifilay for the police.  when they get treatment like that, they generaly leave the crowd alone.    Also This anti drug shit is discusting.  I used to hit festivals all the time Flip trade stack cash and stash.  but last time I was at one I was selling liquid and some cops came up to me let me know they knew exactly what I was up to, and that I had better just pack it up, because they didnt want to book me.    Man I woulda been fucked.  that was luck.

so if you are a real criminal, here's your chance, while all the cops are busy chasing down people who dig mushrooms and music. gah, better round up everyone who's dancing while you're at it, too.

I appreciate the cops who understand that if no one is being hurt in a situation, and there isn't a danger to the public, they don't need to ruin anyone's lives. I've been let off by the cops for a variety of things, and I've actually gotten some respect for some of the officers in my town because of this.
