It&rsquo;s become a Fourth of July tradition for the Juneau Police Department to have an increased number of officers working, and this year is no different.<\/p>\n

A news release<\/a> from the Juneau Police Department urges people to celebrate the holiday safely, and states that there will be extra staff working from the evening of July 3 until the morning of July 5. Those planning on driving between parties or parades should not be drinking, and should have everyone in the vehicle wear seat belts.<\/p>\n

With parades taking place downtown in both Juneau and Douglas, drivers should also avoid no-parking zones along the parade routes. Police also advise pedestrians to stay alert and to cross roadways at designated crosswalks.<\/p>\n

People can shoot off fireworks, but are advised to consult the City and Borough of Juneau&rsquo;s guidelines for firework use<\/a>, which are available on the city&rsquo;s website.<\/p>\n
