32k for extra cops during Hells Angels run




The small army of extra law enforcement personnel that is planned to be utilized during an expected Hells Angels Motorcycle Club visit this summer will come with a price tag.
The City of Gunnison will be left with the tab for room and board of additional officers, as well as training and preparation leading up to the event — expecting to run the city, in total, about $32,625.




Quote from the article:
Law enforcement planning to date, according to Gunnison Police Chief Keith Robinson, calls for between 150 and 200 officers working cooperatively in Gunnison and Hinsdale counties under an “area command structure.” Additional support for fire and ambulance services are also part of planning efforts.

The Hells Angels rode into Gunnison during the summer of 2002 for their annual “USA Run,” the same reason for their visit this summer. Many credited a strong law enforcement presence then for the relatively quiet visit.

Similar to 2002, under a mutual aid agreement, the city will have to pay some of the additional officers’ expenses while they’re here (including workers’ compensation insurance), but the officers’ home agency is expected to pay wages.
