Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio noted, "The Newark Police Department has routinely provided adequate security at all of our sporting and cultural events here in Newark. Despite hosting several hundred such events over the past decade there have only been two documented incidents. While our overall success may not bring solace to the unfortunate victims of those two isolated incidents however it does speak to our commitment to ensure that our residents and visitors are able to safely enjoy all of our recreational and cultural resources."
