The Indiana State Police provides security and safety for communities at important annual events in the state. They continually evolve their plans and procedures to ensure public protection. While some events are chaotic, the ISP helps maintain order and acts as a reassuring presence. Photographs and artifacts will showcase how the ISP supports communities and has adapted over time to serve the state more effectively.
