"People should know that we are at these events - they think that it's just the participants, and the visitors. There are officers that are monitoring these activities so they can come back and make the arrests, and make those seizures," she said.
Three arrests were made in this operation, guns and knives were confiscated, along with small amounts of marijuana and other drugs.
