Des Moines police are still reviewing last month's St. Patty's Day parade, and their findings haven't been all that favorable. They said kids were two or three feet away from the floats at times, which is just too close. Parade organizers met with police and city officials earlier this month to discuss how to improve things for 2012. Police told organizers they wouldn't sign off on next year's parade unless crowd control was improved. They might even add a steel fence for crowd control. Organizers are up against cost issues since the parade is not sponsored. About 22,000 attended this year.
