315.04 POLICE PROTECTION.
   The Chief of Police shall determine whether and to what extent additional police protection is reasonably necessary for the event or special event for traffic control and public safety. The Chief of Police shall base this decision on the size, location, duration, time and date of the event, the expected sale or service of alcoholic beverages, the number of streets and intersections to be blocked, and the need to detour or preempt citizen travel and use of the streets and sidewalks. The speech content of the event shall not be a factor in determining the amount of police protection necessary. If responsible and reasonable, without disruption of ordinary police services or compromise of public safety, regularly scheduled on-duty personnel will police the event. If the Chief of Police deems additional police protection necessary for the event, he shall so inform the applicant for the permit. The applicant then shall have the duty to secure the police protection deemed necessary by the Chief of Police at the sole expense of the applicant.
