RALEIGH – Following the double fatal shooting near Carter-Finlay Stadium on Sept. 4, seven law enforcement agencies plan to be more visible this Saturday during the NCSU football game against Ohio State.

The seven agencies that monitor traffic and safety during football games include the N.C. Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement, the N.C. State University Police, State Fairgrounds police, Wake County Sheriff’s Department, State Capitol Police, Raleigh Police Department and the N.C. State Highway Patrol.

The enforcement agencies plan to make their presence more visible in every parking lot to help reduce the possibility of violence or illegal activity. Uniformed officers and marked patrol cars will be present in the areas where tailgate parties are held and in the several parking areas. Parking will be monitored and enforced under the new guidelines set by N.C. State University requiring football tickets for entry.

ALE Director Mike Robertson said, “ALE agents on duty at the game will have zero tolerance for underage drinking or fake IDs. Making arrests for ALE violations at football games is nothing new, the agents will just be more visible.”

ALE officers make about 100 arrests on the average during football games.

State Highway Patrol Troopers will be participating in checkpoints around the fairgrounds Saturday. “Troopers will have a zero tolerance for any motorists suspected of driving while impaired,” said Colonel W. Fletcher Clay, Commander of the Highway Patrol.

Chief Matt Cleary of the State Fairgrounds Police, said, “We would like to have a safe environment not only for football fans, but others who use the State Fairgrounds.”

Chief Tom Younce of the NCSU Police Department said, “We’d like everyone to have a good, but safe time.”
