SUZIE: THEY VALUE THEIR
CUSTOMERS BUT THEY DO NEED TO
SEE PROOF OF PURCHASE FOR A
REFUND.
JEFF: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
YEARS THERE IS A MAJOR CHANGE IN
SECURITY AT THE ROSE PARADE.
SUZIE: IT'S A RIPPLE EFFECT FROM
TERRORIST ACTIVITIES IN EUROPE.
JEFF MICHAEL IS LIVE IN OLD TOWN
PASADENA WITH THE STORY.
Reporter: ONE OF THE REASONS
PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK TO THE
ROSE PARADE YEAR AFTER YEAR
ISN'T JUST FOR THE FLOATS
IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SO WELL
MANAGED AND IT RUNS LIKE
CLOCKWORK.
ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT
THEY USE THESE LIGHTWEIGHT
SAWHORSES TO CLOSE STREETS OFF
JUST BEFORE THE PARADE BEGINS
AND THEN AS SOON AS THE LAST
FLOAT GOES BY, IT TAKES NO
EFFORT TO OPEN THE STREET BACKUP
AND TRAFFIC MOVES AGAIN LIKE
CLOCKWORK.
THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF TERRORIST
ACTIVITIES IN EUROPE, IT'S NOT
GOING TO RUN THAT WAY AT ALL.
THIS YEAR, IN LIGHT OF THE
EVENTS IN BRUSSELS, THE THE
POLICE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS
WORKED ALONGSIDE MANY OTHER
AGENCIES TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES
AND TACTICS TO PREVENT OR
OTHERWISE MITIGATE VEHICLE
INCURSION.
THOSE WILL BE OVERTLY OBVIOUS TO
YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE
PARADE ROUTE.
PASADENA POLICE CHIEF SAYS IT
WAS ACTUALLY THIS MONTH ATTACK
IN BERLIN THAT PROMPTED THE
AUDIBLE TO BE CALLED FOR THE
ROSE PARADE.
DECEMBER 19, A TRACTOR-TRAILER
RIG SLAMMED INTO A CHRISTMAS
MARKET KILLING 12 AND INJURING
FOUR TIMES THAT MANY.
THIS YEAR, REPLACING THE CITIES
LIGHTWEIGHT SAWHORSES WILL BE
2000-POUND SECTIONS OF
WATER-FILLED BARRIERS.
K RAILS BLOCKING ALL 56 STREETS
CROSSING THE FIVE AND A HALF
MILE PARADE ROUTE.
THE BIG DELAY COMES IN GETTING
THE WATER OUT AND YOU CAN BLAME
THE DROUGHT FOR THAT.
WE ARE ALL THOUGHTFUL AND
MINDFUL OF THE CONDITION THAT WE
ARE IN SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THEM REMOVAL OF THE ORDER.
THEY CAN'T WASTE IT SO TRUCKS
WILL HAVE TO SUCK ALL OF IT OUT
OF EVERY BARRICADE BEFORE THEY
CAN BE REMOVED.
HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE?
POLICE DON'T KNOW.
I'M PRETTY SURE THEY'RE
EFFICIENT BUT WE WILL FIND OUT.
EVERYBODY WILL BE WAITING TO
FIND OUT.
WE WANT TO BE SPECIFIC WITH YOU
