Reggae Rising
The California Highway Patrol Garberville Area assisted People’s Production with the “Reggae Rising” musical festival on the Dimmick Ranch. According to the Garberville CHP commander Lt. G.R. Peck, “The planning, preparation, and execution resulted in a flawless operation reducing the loss of any lives and injuries. Lt. G.R. Peck also commented, “The attendees welcomed our officers both inside and outside of the event. Our officers made no observations inside the event to cause them to take enforcement actions.”
California Highway Patrol officers made less than 100 traffic enforcement contacts, approximately 65 notice to appears were issued for violations of speeding, pedestrians failing to follow regulatory signs, and some for mechanical and correction violations. A two car collision resulting in property damage only was associated with the event, and Officer Brian White made one arrest for Driving under the Influence of Alcohol and or Drugs.

The event went very well, the CHP and or Sherrifs were a welcomed adition to the event. They did nothing but keep an eye on people so that they could assist if something happend needing assistance. I had a GREAT time and will be returning again next year weather it's called Reggae Rising or Reggae On The River, it's the attendees who make the event a success.

I had a couple of really bad experiences with other SO's working other festivals over the past couple of years. I was really ambivilent about their presence this weekend. That was totally unfounded. I don't know how they could have kept a lower profile than they did.

Much Respect to the Humboldt County Sheriff, RR Security and the Medical/Psyche Team. You helped make this spectacular event possible and definitely made it run smoothly. There were very few unpleasant incidents, but the few freak outs and scuffles I witnessed were handled quickly and professionally. Thank you!
