Worcester County's Board of License Commissioners has approved a comprehensive security plan for an upcoming event, ensuring the safety of attendees and compliance with alcohol regulations. The plan includes rigorous ID checks at the entrance, with wristbands issued to those over 21 to prevent underage drinking.

Event organizers will employ trained bartenders and security personnel to monitor alcohol service closely. Spotters will patrol the venue to maintain safety throughout the event. The contract with the Marion City Council of Ocean City mandates robust security measures, including the prevention of alcohol service to minors, aligning with local laws.

Tim Price, a veteran of the Ocean City Fire Marshal's Office with over 30 years of experience, will assist in overseeing safety protocols. He emphasized the importance of life safety and fire protection, stating that metal detectors will be used to screen attendees before entry.

This proactive approach aims to create a secure environment for all participants, reflecting the community's commitment to safety during large gatherings. As preparations continue, the focus remains on ensuring a successful and safe event for everyone involved.
