L&R Security keeping the Fest safe [Video]

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — When you think of Jazz Fest, you’re probably thinking of the great food you’ll eat or the awesome bands you want to see, but never about security. And that’s a good thing!

When you head to Jazz Fest, you can’t miss the folks in the yellow and blue shirts posted at the gate, in the parking lot and just about everywhere you look on the Fairgrounds. Ensuring that you have a good time is L&R Security, who, by the way, had an unlikely start.

“We didn’t know we were going into business. In 1975, when I went to work for the dome, there was a guy called Frank Hayward, came to use me and my partner, Odell, and said I need some people fore Jazz Fest,” said L&R Security President Ed Robinson Sr.
