Police Report Surge In Activity FROM PAGE 12 mits, so we really don’t know where [in town] it is going to be, which causes confusion and problems with the police department.” Meehan hopes the rally will one day submit a special event permit, but in the meantime he suggested OCPD meet with property owners that host the event, such as the 45th Street Village, in creating some sort of boundaries when it comes to ongoing issues with H2Oi, for example crowd control and trash collection. “If they are going to host these events, then they need to be responsible,” the mayor said. OCPD Captain Kevin Kirstein reported the department has been keeping a record of the locations where the vehicles gather and will follow up with the property owners of those locations. “Saturday night, I rode up and down the highway looking at some of the sites where they were gathering, and the next morning when I went up and down the highway the amount of trash they left behind was just amazing. I don’t know how people can be so thoughtless,” Councilman Dennis Dare said. The issue reminded Dare of when he traveled to Myrtle Beach a number of years ago as city manager to study how the resort dealt with motorcycle rallies. An outcome of that initiative was having private properties partner with OCPD in posting no trespassing signs. “It seems to be we are developing the same problem with H2O participants,” OCPD Capt. Michael Colbert said in reference to rally participants choosing locations to gather. Council President Lloyd Martin pointed out the 94th Street Mall parking lot has become an issue as some businesses in the area welcome the rally and others do not. “I don’t want to chase any kind of business out of town, but we need good business, not bad,” he said. According to Police Chief Ross Buzzuro, one of the tactics being looked into is to expand enforcement during the event by partnering with neighboring agencies, such as the Maryland State Police, as OCPD does with other events to strengthen intelligence. OCPD Lt. Scott Harner added he has met and plans to keep in contact with the H2Oi organizer to remain on the same page into the future. “Most important, I told him our biggest concern is safety of everybody here in town including his participants and he is engaged with that,” Harner said. According to Harner the organizer is open to partnering with the town in posting social media links to promote the ongoing walk and drive smart campaign. The organizer has also expressed interest in reaching out to the town and local businesses, as well as developing a trash collection team at his own expense. “The positive thing is the organizer is engaged with me, and is open and receptive,” Harner said.
