On Wednesday, K-9 unit Obey, a new member of the Washington County Sheriff's Office, was sweeping all of the pavilion. The plan is to sweep the pavilion before the Mumford & Sons concert and again on Thursday before the Future concert.
Officers at the Hanover Township Police Department requested the sweep as a way to be proactive after the terror attacks overseas. KeyBank Pavilion officials said they are implementing other security measures as well.
