“This place we live in now [is] where we have to really prepare for really bad scenarios, and that’s really expensive,' Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said.
Officials in the city of approximately 140,000 people estimate that the cost for security during the Ku Klux Klan rally and counterprotest will come in around $650,000. The cost, officials told Time, was incurred by bringing in over 350 police officers to work around the two events, as well as providing barriers and other items to separate KKK members and counter-protestors.
To ensure safety, Dayton called in police officers from departments in Toledo, Cincinnati and Cleveland as well as several local sheriff's offices and used large trucks to block off the streets near the protest location and the rally. The rally ended without any arrests or injuries, which Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl called “a very safe day.”
