The provision of safety and security at summer music festivals — or indeed any public indoor or outdoor event — is paramount. For example, the Glastonbury Festival which finished last weekend, had just one reported crime per 440 people. Thefts from tents, 230, numbered the vast majority of crimes; and 117 people were arrested during the festival. Most were dealt with at the police's temporary custody unit at the Bath and West Showground. The policing approach of officers engaging with the public paid off.
