GOP CONVENTION | Police presence is unmistakable at RNC

CLEVELAND — The level of security throughout downtown Cleveland for the Republican National Convention is impossible to miss.

And for some delegates, it’s causing issues.

“It’s very, very difficult to navigate through the city because you don’t know where the [police] barriers are. And if you’re not from the city, you don’t know what roads you can and can’t walk down,” said Tracey Winbush of Youngstown, a delegate and Mahoning County Republican Party vice chairwoman, today, the first day of the four-day event.

“There isn’t consistency inside the security zones,” she added. “Some parts are empty of people because security is moving them along, and others have thousands of people waiting because there aren’t enough officers. The flow of people moving is different everywhere. It’s a logistical thing.”
