COPS AFTER ACTION REPORT
FASHION WEEK AND FOOD AND WINE EVENT
FASHION WEEK; COPs provided support for the seven evenings of Fashion Shows. There
was usually four COPs on duty each evening at the west entrance to the El Paseo
Gardens parking structure. The nominal duty hours were from 6:00-9:30 pm. Before and
after each evening the volunteers reported to the COP offices to get two pick-up trucks
with safety cones, police radios, iPhones, safety vests, water and lighted wands for
traffic control. Therefore, each member worked 5 hours or more. This totals at
approximately 140 hours of service.
Duties at the fashion events included placing cones to facilitate the safe entry and exit
of vehicles from the garage and pedestrians walking to and from the event as well as
shoppers and diners at the Garden’s shops and restaurants. COPs also managed the
drop-off and pickup of the DIVA’s vehicles.
Appreciation for what the COPs were doing was expressed by numerous
Individuals. As usual at events where COPs assist with traffic control, there were a few
drivers who did not appreciate our work. There were no untoward issues.
FOOD AND WINE EVENTS: COPs facilitated the safe arrival and departure of guests
from various Food and Wine events at the El Paseo Gardens. During these events two
pick-ups and one golf cart were employed as well as the usual equipment. Duty hours
for Saturday were from 10:00-3:30 (six COPs) and Sunday from 11:00-3:30 (five COPs).
With time included for set up and breakdown of cones and equipment the total number
of hours worked by COPs was approximately 75.
As a consequence of the popularity of these events, the number of attendees seeking
parking in the Garden’s garage far exceeded its capacity. As a result, COPs periodically
closed access to the garage based on the available parking spaces. By doing a regular
patrol of the garage using the golf cart, and communication of availability to COPs
staffing the entrances, we managed to get as many vehicles parked as possible.
Fortunately, the sponsors of the event had anticipated this issue and prepared guides to
alternate parking which we handed out to those not able to park in the garage.
As usual our efforts were greatly appreciated by many, but not all, of the attendees.
There were no untoward incidents.
