Both uniformed and plain-clothes officers will be making sure everyone has a fun and safe time.\u00a0<\/p>\n “San Francisco is such a big, beautiful city and so events like this weekend, with everything that’s going on, it’s nothing new to us, and so that’s why we just hope that you come enjoy the city, said Officer Eve Laokwansathitaya. “Enjoy all that we have to offer, and a rest assured that we will be out there and as usual, we always tell people if you see something, say something.”<\/p>\n The San Francisco Fire Department said it will have personnel deployed throughout the city, able to respond quickly if needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n “On the tail end of the Super Bowl we have FIFA coming up,” said Mariano Elias from SFFD. “We’ve had large events in a few weeks, things like that, so we are already pretty prepared normally with all the planning. The planning starts early on and ahead of time.”<\/p>\n In addition to the parade and Giants Fan Fest there are also pub crawls, tours and other events planned for the weekend, and you can bet that space will be at a premium at some of the city’s outdoor destinations like Dolores Park.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n San Francisco<\/a>San Francisco Police Department<\/a>Holidays<\/a>San Francisco Giants<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO – It’s going to be a busy weekend in San Francisco, and beautiful weather is sure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2408],"tags":[5,8922,162,22308,4,169,3809,378,66,4343,4340,4344,4341,4342,80294,609],"class_list":{"0":"post-622956","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-giants","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-holidays","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-organization","15":"tag-san-francisco","16":"tag-san-francisco-giants","17":"tag-sanfrancisco","18":"tag-sanfranciscogiants","19":"tag-sf","20":"tag-sf-giants","21":"tag-sfgiants","22":"tag-sfpd","23":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116225854197766548","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
