Philly Police Lay Out NFL Draft Security Plan

With a major event like the NFL Draft in the city this week, Philadelphia police are working hard to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Philadelphia Police Regional Operations Command-South Chief Inspector Frank Vanore discussed security at a Wednesday morning news conference.

The NFL Draft takes place in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art starting Thursday night. A free fan experience along the Ben Franklin Parkway is expected to draw thousands into the weekend.

Vanore said fans can expect security similar to what they go through entering an Eagles game including metal detectors.

Weapons, bicycles and smoking aren't allowed in the secured draft area, police said.
