Powell police to help provide security at Cody concert

Posted

When tourists and other visitors head to some big events in Cody this summer, some Powell police officers may also be on hand to help make sure things remain orderly.

At its regular Monday meeting, the Powell City Council approved mutual aid agreements between the Cody and Powell police departments. The agreement will allow a few officers to help with security at an upcoming concert.

The Cody Police Department requested help from their counterparts in Powell for events in Cody around the end of June and beginning of July. That includes a free Clint Black concert that’s set for June 27 at Cody’s Stampede Park and, if needed, the Cody Stampede Parade around the 4th of July.

The Cody Police Department will be covering all expenses for whatever aid Powell officers provide — including salaries, fuel and any damage to equipment that occurs in the course of Powell police officers’ duties.

Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt told the council the Cody Police Department has been “very generous” in the past with such reimbursements.
