Good question , who is going to pay the safety bill. because how this looks we are going to have a lot of these event’s . we need to come up with a plan , or call in the county police.
Did they fill out the proper paperwork for permit. And to the village manager this is more overtime for police department now. Are we going to have these demonstrations now every week. No went to the overtime want to $600,000 last year, when is this going to stop.
Our Police Chief attends many of the gatherings in Ridgewood. it is a sign of respect for the purpose of the gathering as well as a means to assure that there is no interruption from individuals with violently opposing views. The Police are definitely not there to frighten individuals but to protect them. We certainly don’t need an incident of car into crowd here in Ridgewood.
Good idea. Or ask democratic party to pay for it.
Any group should pay for police protection, traffic control, etc. not jus protest groups. All groups.
Yes we agree or groups. We cannot just have the overtime and safety personnel spending This crazy amount of money. It’s at a hand you look back in the past three years of the police and fire overtime budget ridiculous,
