There are over 100 security guards and law enforcement officers each day at the Erie County Fair to help monitor the over 1 million visitors who will attend the fair. This is an increase from last year's security. WIVB reports the Hamburg Police received 37 calls during last year's fair for incidents such as larceny and missing persons. There were five arrests last year, according to WIVB.

Following the incident at the Italian Fest, do you feel this increase in security is necessary?
