Depends on site

Police protection in Michigan depends on the site. Having worked many play off games I can't remember police as such taking us off the field. In most places including Northern Michigan and Saginaw Valley the same staff that worked college games took care of us. I do remember seeing police at certain games depending on the schools involved. In some smaller towns all that is going on is the game so law enforcement is there along with most of the town. Things are different in the metro area. My uncle who retired from the Big 10 tells stories of being told to drive to a police post and being taken to do basketball games in empty gyms. Remember Michigan is a big state(not as big as Texas) geographically.

I don't think you see much in Texas that doesn't have a visible law enforcement presence, do you?

WOW I would not have called it that way. But I'm a white hat so I would have been looking at the quarterback.

Incredible.

Never have had police at a HS game here. At least not for the benefit of officials. I had some when I did HS basketball in Ohio, but that is a different set of demographics.
