A.
Purpose.
The purposes of this bylaw are to: (1) ensure public safety through
reducing the threats to life and personal injury; and (2) reduce or
eliminate the hazards associated with traffic and activity related
to construction sites and activities that result in the congregation
of large numbers of persons.
B.
The Chief
of Police or his or her designee shall have the authority to require
police details at any time he or she shall determine in his or her
discretion that it is in the interest of public safety to do so. Any
establishment, entity or individual operating under permit, license
or otherwise, and any individual or private entity which produces
and operates an event open to the public, shall procure at his or
her own expense sufficient police detail furnished by the Police Department
as the Chief of Police or his or her designee may require.
The foregoing shall apply to any construction sites or where
construction activities are occurring and where the passage or flow
of pedestrian or vehicular traffic will be impeded or rerouted, and
where the safety, health and welfare of the general public is concerned,
said contractor receiving the permit or license for such construction
shall procure at his or her own expense sufficient police detail furnished
by the Police Department.
The fee for police details shall be set by the Town and shall
be payable in advance.
