Rose Parade to see ‘unprecedented’ amount of security

Rather, the increased security is due to a change in which federal officials declared the Rose Parade – along with a few other events such as the Super Bowl – as “rating 1” events where extra precautions are required.

The city also used automated license plate readers to gather information in advance of the parade, according to Police Chief Phillip Sanchez, who said his biggest concern was the “lone-wolf, non-state actor”. (The agent says if they need to monitor calls, they’ll be quick about getting the appropriate warrants to do so.) All attendees at the Rose Bowl game will be given clear bags to put their stuff in.
