All-Star Game Security to Cost Cincinnati up to $1 Million
Cincinnati is expected to spend $1 million on security before and during the All Star Game on July 14, including cameras and radio reports at a command center to monitor crowds. Surveillance will also be on barge, rail and air traffic.
The heart of the security operation will be Hamilton County's emergency management headquarters in South Fairmount, where the Regional Operations Center, better known as "The ROC," includes a two-story video screen, state-of-the-art communications equipment and anti-terrorism gear, said a report by Cincinnati.com.
