Organizers and law enforcement officials have promised a safe day for runners and spectators at the April 15 Boston Marathon.

Along with 1,500 police officers, 415 National Guardsmen, 1,500 other security personnel and three state police helicopters, organizers have arranged for bomb-sniffing dogs, hazardous materials teams and radiation detectors to be used before and during the race.

"We're ready for anything that we might experience," Boston Police Commissioner Paul Evans told the media at a security briefing last week.
