Disturbances were limited to yelling, pushing and frustration among fans who were unable to leave the neighborhood amid the congestion.<\/p>\n<p>A half-dozen organizations coordinated crowd control, including the Chicago and Illinois State Police Departments, as well as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CPD\u2019s Bureau of Organized Crime, private security firm Monterey Security and Wrigley Field event staff. There were no reported arrests in Wrigleyville during the game, and just four misdemeanor arrests after, according to the Chicago Police Department&#8217;s media representative.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Cubs\u2019 wild card win in Pittsburgh on Oct. 5, Chicago police made nine arrests, and more than a dozen arrests after the Chicago Blackhawks\u2019 Stanley Cup victory in June, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redeyechicago.com\/news\/redeye-blackhawks-stanley-cup-violence-and-fraud-charges-in-chicago-20150616-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Red Eye Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wrigleyville was peppered with police before noon the day of the game. By the first pitch, officers on horseback and undercover officers joined the patrol, and by the fourth inning, Homeland Security joined the action. For safety reasons, specific numbers of security personnel were not released.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Carnak\u2019s sister, Ellen Carnak, said the added security was effective. &#8220;We feel safe tonight. We&#8217;re choosing to walk the long way just to see what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: A heavy Chicago police presence helped keep Cubs fans in line and safe Tuesday.
