Riverside Convention Center

Concerns Regarding Overreaching Security Policies at Riverside Convention Center I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the security policies currently enforced at the Riverside Convention Center. As a regular attendee of events hosted at your venue, I have become increasingly troubled by the overreaching nature of these policies, particularly regarding the handling of personal identification and the frequency of check-ins required for breaks or lunches. The policy requiring attendees to hand over their driver's licenses is not only concerning but also potentially illegal. It is a significant invasion of privacy and a violation of individual rights to demand such personal identification. Furthermore, retaining possession of these documents presents a risk of identity theft or misuse, which is wholly unacceptable. Additionally, the requirement to check in with the office for every break or lunch taken throughout the day is excessive and burdensome. While I understand the importance of maintaining security within the premises, this level of oversight feels like an unnecessary overreach of power. It not only disrupts the flow of attendees schedules but also creates an atmosphere of mistrust and discomfort. Furthermore, I am deeply concerned that resources and focus are being allocated towards enforcing these excessively strict policies instead of tackling more urgent issues, such as homelessness in the vicinity of the convention center. As responsible community members, the Riverside Convention Center should prioritize addressing homelessness over implementing a ban on vendors for using the wrong exit during breaks. In light of these concerns, I urge the management of the Riverside Convention Center to reconsider these security policies and implement measures that are more respectful of attendees rights and privacy. Additionally, I implore you to addressing homelessness and other social concerns in the surrounding area. It is my sincere hope that the Riverside Convention Center will take prompt action to address these issues and uphold its commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees.

Excellent place for special events. We had the choice between steak and chicken. Steak was great. Chicken was not good, though. Chicken breast boiled and then grill marks. No flavor.
