LAPD Captain Says Coliseum Is Secure

Regarding the letter (Viewpoint, Nov. 19) from the Pasadena police commander who volunteered his people to police Ram-Raider gams. I can assure him the Coliseum is the best-policed stadium in the country. My officers are the most experienced, best trained, and best supervised police officers there are. I have been the officer in charge of the off-duty LAPD officers at the Coliseum since 1979. While the media make much of fan violence, in truth, less than a fraction of 1% of the spectators are unruly, and we usually eject them before halftime.

I urge all football fans to come to our games, college and professional, and see how enjoyable the event is, and how quickly and efficiently unruly fans are dealt with.
