BERKELEY – The township has canceled its agreement with Seaside Park for summer traffic control police, and will instead create positions for its own special police officers for the South Seaside Park and Pelican Island sections.
Previously, Berkeley paid Seaside Park $20,000 each summer to provide three Class 1 officers to South Seaside Park, which is a section of Berkeley Township on the barrier island. The officers were mainly for traffic control, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, said Mayor Carmen Amato.
