As day two of the Republican National Convention comes to a close, the City of Cleveland and Police Department held their evening press briefing.
Chief Calvin Williams remained on scene and skipped the press conference. Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia answered questions.
"He's a very hands on guy," Ciaccia said about Chief Williams being absent.
"We're trained and ready," Ciaccia said. "We don't know what exactly to expect which is why we train at such a high level."
Ciaccia said that there were still only 5 arrests so far since the yesterday.
"Hopefully, we'll continue to have what we've seen here which is basically people expressing their First Amendment rights," Ciaccia said.
Ciaccia said when answering a question about protesters who lay in the streets, they have not arrested people for such activity.
"We're trying to work with people," Ciaccia said.
Cleveland Police will host another press conference tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. and do not expect to update tonight.
