Pretty cheap tbh.

24 hour security for 3 council people. Just guessing 3 eight hour shifts so that's paying for 9 people.

$500 per officer for 8 hours = $62.50 per hour.

Sounds right for off duty peace officer pay to me

Extremely reasonable price. How much do they spend of Trump’s golf outing?

How do you defund something that's already paid for?

U.S. taxpayers have already reimbursed the country $10 million for expenditures through September 2018, according to The Palm Beach Post. The country is still awaiting an additional $3.8 million for expenses racked up through October 2019.

The local figure is on top of $118 million in travel and federal security costs Trump has saddled U.S. taxpayers with for the 227-plus days he has spent during his presidency at his various golf resorts, according to a HuffPost analysis as of his winter vacation in December.
