Crowd control is making sure that large groups of people who are together in one place are safe and orderly. Imagine going to a big party with lots of your friends. If everyone is running around and pushing each other, it could become dangerous and someone could get hurt. That's where crowd control comes in.
Think of it like a big game of 'Simon Says'. Someone, like a teacher or a police officer, tells everyone exactly what to do and where to go. They might tell everyone to line up single file or stay in one spot until it's their turn to move. This helps keep things calm and organized.
Crowd control is important in lots of different places. You might see it at big sporting events like football games, or at concerts with famous singers. You might see it at parades, protests or even in busy shopping malls during the holiday season.
The goal is always the same - to keep everyone safe and make sure they're having fun. With good crowd control, everyone can enjoy being together without anyone getting hurt or feeling left out.
