Police say safety plan in development after data center protest brought large crowd to downtown
Summary
Chief reported crowds at a data center protest last week and said the department is developing a safety plan for future meetings and events.
Port Washington police told the Public Facilities Commission on Oct. 13 that large crowds at a data center protest earlier in the week prompted a review of meeting safety and crowd-control planning.
“I'm sure a lot of people saw on the news, the crowds that were here, last Tuesday,” the police chief said. “We are working on a safety plan, and we should be set for the next meetings.”
Commissioners said the demonstration highlighted the need for more robust crowd-control measures at public meetings. No new policy or funding was adopted at the session; the chief said the department is preparing the plan and did not provide a firm implementation date.
