With the debate at Washington University only days away we're learning about security plans for the big night. Local law enforcement leaders didn't want to tell us too much, but we know there will be local and federal agencies on hand. I sat down with the St. Louis Public Safety Director, Charles Bryson, today and he gave me a few interesting details... there will be:

- 2-4 St. Louis City Health Department Workers
- A St. Louis City ambulance and 2 medics per motorcade, plus two extra firefighter personnel at the command center
- Hundreds of city and county police
- 1 FEMA Commissioner
- A number of St. Louis City Street Department workers

On a side note, Bryson tells me that these numbers may change leading up the debate... we'll have to see.
