[Adopted 11-25-1958 (§§ 3-1 to
3-4 of the 1974 Code)]
At every public gathering, the Police Department shall supply a police
officer or a retired police officer, unless the Chief of Police shall deem
the attendance of such member or members unnecessary for the welfare or safety
of the public in any particular case.
The number of policemen in attendance shall be determined in each case
by the Chief of Police. The owner of the theater or person in charge of a
public dance or other public gathering shall pay to the Town a fee equivalent
to the pay of such member or members in attendance.
When the services of any member or members of the police force may be
requested by any person, the Chief of Police may, if in his judgment the interests
of the Town will not suffer thereby, detail such member or members of the
police force as he shall judge expedient, and such person shall pay to the
Town a fee equivalent to the pay of such member or members.
No member of the police force shall perform any services as above specified
except by order of the Chief of Police.
