DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Dayton Police Department is asking the public to help it prevent violence at unpermitted large gatherings commonly known as ‘pop-up parties’.
The DPD said these events are often advertised on social media, but organizers typically don’t notify police about the events.
“We have seen in the past, including in June 2024, that large pop-up gatherings can escalate quickly and lead to violence and the loss of life. If you see suspicious activity or have information about a planned gathering that may pose a safety risk, please report it to law enforcement,” said Chief Eric Henderson.
