Disneyland Ups Security After 3rd Parking Garage Suicide

ANAHEIM, CA — Disneyland officials announced an increase in security and preventative measures at its parking structures following the third death by suicide in less than a year at the garage complex.

“In an effort to deter this type of tragedy, we have long had multi-layered security protocols in place at our parking structures, which we have substantially enhanced over time,” according to Disneyland officials. “However, as with all of our security and safety measures, we don’t discuss specifics so as not to compromise our efforts.”

Disneyland security has increased patrols both in vehicles and on bicycles in the Mickey and Friends and Pixar Pals parking structures, MousePlanet reported. In addition, the park stationed uniformed officers on the upper levels of the garages.

The officers are trained to approach anyone who starts walking toward the edge before calling for back-up if necessary, WDW News Today reported.
