This annual event brings thousands of people together, and FWPD will be working with public safety partners to help provide a safe, family-friendly environment for everyone attending.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-three additional officers will be on duty in the downtown area, including City parks, throughout the fireworks event.<\/p>\n<p>To help keep the event safe, consumer fireworks are prohibited in City parks and throughout the downtown event area. Anyone attending the fireworks should leave personal fireworks at home.<\/p>\n<p>FWPD is also reminding the public that there will be zero tolerance for anyone observed throwing fireworks at another person, into a crowd, at vehicles, at officers, or in any other reckless manner. Individuals who engage in this behavior will be arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the circumstances, throwing fireworks at people could result in misdemeanor charges, felony charges, or even federal charges. What may seem like a prank can cause serious injuries and serious legal consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want everyone to enjoy the Fourth of July celebration safely,\u201d said Chief Smith. \u201cThe downtown fireworks are meant to be a family-friendly event. Bringing consumer fireworks into crowded areas, City parks, or the downtown event area puts others at risk and will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FWPD encourages anyone attending the event to be patient, follow posted restrictions, listen to directions from officers and event staff, and immediately report unsafe or suspicious behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrate responsibly. Leave consumer fireworks at home. Help us keep downtown safe for everyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/baker-street-station\/68589.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Peoples Trust &amp;amp; Savings Company Clock at the Baker Street Railroad Station.
