MADISON, Wis. -- There aren't any major changes to how law enforcement will handle Freakfest this year and police said they aren't anticipating serious problems. But they said if things get out of hand, they are equipped to tackle any problems.

"When people get together and they're partying, sometimes things get out of hand. And I think what the city has done is say, 'That's not acceptable,'" said Madison Fire Department Public Information Officer Lori Wirth.

With lessons learned and changes made, Madison law enforcement is teaming up and looking to big screen TVs to prevent past destruction from happening again.

"We want to be there before anything gets out of hand," said Wirth. "In the middle of this big thing where there are thousands of people, you've got them setting a fire on State Street. Now if we see a puff of smoke or something we can send our teams over there to investigate."

In the command post, five law enforcement agencies will have spotters looking for suspicious activity on two real-time surveillance cameras installed on State Street.

"I think if you see people gathering and getting rowdy, you're going to want to take a look at that," Wirth said.

Officials said the goal is to continue in last year's success and keep trouble-makers out.

"Last year we had a pretty good go around and it looks like this year should be pretty similar, but again when you have the masses of people that can sometimes be attracted to this you want to make sure that you're paying attention," Wirth said.

In addition to the cameras, there will be two extra ambulances on stand-by near State Street. As they do with large scale events, emergency vehicles will not be driving down State Street. Instead, EMT teams will be walking through the crowd carrying emergency supplies.

Members of the fire department's inspection staff will be making bar checks to prevent overcrowding and to make sure exits are clear for people to get out.

Inspectors and a police escort will also enter house parties with a large crowd, WISC-TV reported.
