Upon written request to the Chief of Police,
the Police Department shall provide a police escort for any person,
firm or corporation requesting the same; provided, however, that said
person, firm or corporation shall accompany said written request with
payment of a fee for such service according to the following schedule:
A. Twenty dollars for police escorts leaving the confines
of the City of Garfield; provided, however, that the same shall be
limited to a ten-mile radius from the outer limits of the City of
Garfield. For every mile thereafter there shall be a fee of $1, the
same to be determined by adding the distance to and from the point
of destination.
[Amended 3-21-1972 by Ord. No. 1487]
B. Ten dollars for police escorts within the City of
Garfield.
C. Five dollars for on-premises police escorts where
such escort does not leave the confines of private property.
There shall be no service fee for police escorts
accompanying funeral corteges, duly permitted parades or municipally
sponsored events.
The Chief of Police shall collect the service
fees, as aforesaid, and maintain an accurate account thereof. He shall
turn these funds over to the City Treasurer monthly, at which time
he shall present a monthly accounting report to the City Council.
[Added 3-21-1972 by Ord. No. 1487]
The Chief of Police shall have the discretionary
authority to refuse to provide any escort if, in his opinion, it shall
affect the efficient operation of the Police Department or reduce
the manpower necessary to adequately protect and serve the residents
of the City of Garfield.
