“June usually brings an influx of teenagers to Seaside; in previous years they’d come after high school proms. Chris Vaz (Borough Administrator) said the borough, which typically hires 50 to 60 Class I and Class II officers for the summer, needs extra officers to ensure that parties don’t get out of hand. Seaside has 39 motels and dozens of multi-family rental properties.
“Police and EMS are usually very busy at that time,” Vaz said. “Without us having sufficient police to be able to do the job that we normally have to do, there could be problems.”
BILLIE HOLIDAY.
