NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police want to remind fans that their safety is of the utmost importance.
Officers will be working more than 1,700 shifts through Sunday making sure everyone is safely having fun this weekend.
That will also include SWAT officers who will be dressed down but ready if anything happens.
There are also things everyone can do to help be safe this weekend. MNPD said to "park smart" — do not leave any weapons or valuables in your car or keep them out of site. Stay with the group you came with.
CMA Fest requires clear bags for anything that does not fit in a small clutch or wallet.
MNPD Assistant Police Chief Tommy Widener said everyone has a responsibility to say something if they see something off.
"Safety is our number one concern, there will be a lot of officers present 24/7 from now until Sunday. But it really takes all of us together. If you see anything please report it," said Widener.
