Law enforcement patrols will increase in downtown Indianapolis for the NCAA Final Four weekend, using technology like mobile cameras, drones, and a real-time crime center to monitor the area. Multiple public safety agencies will collaborate through an Emergency Operations Center during the events. Officials will enforce juvenile curfew rules and monitor crowd capacity at venues for safety.
