The LAPD, assisted by Noble Security, LA Live security, and ABC security, say they have the Microsoft Theater and surrounding areas locked down. One security officer told FOX411 they are covering every entrance and exit on the red carpet while securing access to the show. A LAPD officer assured FOX411 that everyone was going to be "absolutely safe" before, during and after the telecast. Every attendee including the media will walk through metal detectors, and LAPD officers are checking every car parking in the surrounding structures. "People attending these events can most certainly feel safe, as our LAPD officers and other city partners have taken every step to ensure a secure environment."
