The Montpelier Police Department encourages parents to keep a close watch on young children in order to prevent them from becoming separated in the crowd. In the event that a parent and child become separated, they should notify police and then go to the public safety/information tent (in front of the Pavilion) for re-unification assistance.

We also request that people prepare appropriately for the weather conditions and always monitor children and pets closely. Water will be available on the State House lawn and in the parade staging area.

Everyone’s safety is our priority and the police ask that if you see something that appears suspicious to let the nearest police officer know right away.
