Rochester , N.Y. — Rochester police and state troopers provided security at Charlotte Beach Park ahead of Memorial Day and celebrating visitors.As locals and out-of-towners visited Rochester 's Charlotte Beach Park for Memorial Day , some of them noticed an increased police presence in and around the parking lots near the water.
"We noticed a lot of them, said Rowen Keller, originally of Vermont. "We know they’re out and about so it’s alright. We haven’t really seen too many out on the beach, but we know they’re around.""You feel a lot safer," said Moore. "Yeah, a lot safer," added McDaniel. "Every year it seems like violent activity gets a little worse," said Deb Hawley "I like knowing there's already a police presence here to maybe avoid it.""Our message to the public is to be aware," said Cornell. "Be careful and also let us know because we are not everywhere at once."
Their focus will be traffic management and safety. Cornell added if officers feel the area reaches an unsafe volume of people, they may shut down traffic for a short time."We’ve had ATVs show up and we’ve been able to talk to them and they were respectful of the park and the patricians and they left," said Cornell. "We just don’t want a dangerous situation.
