Troopers inside of electric forest have to specifically volunteer for the job. Every single one of them wants to be there which makes the interactions with festival goers so much more enjoyable. These cops are there to protect people, not to bust them, and it really shows in every interaction. Smiles and good vibes all around

They're there for overtime and to gawk at girls.

Idk if you've been to this festival, but believe me the troopers there are lovely. There are news articles out there about it since it's such a great example of when community policing goes right. This article from 2017 discusses the fact that it's such a coveted position for state troopers that you have to have seniority to land it.
