Take-home vehicle system expanding for OC police

A little over two months after casting intense scrutiny on the city’s take-home vehicle policy, the city council has, somewhat paradoxically, voted to expand the program within the Ocean City Police Department.

City Council President Lloyd Martin said Tuesday that the council had adopted the new measure during a closed-door meeting prior to the regular afternoon session.

That policy will give OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro the ability to authorize take-home vehicles for officers whose homes are outside of the normal city mileage limitations.

The official wording is that Buzzuro will, “have the discretion, on a case-by-case basis, to determine if a vehicle is warranted based on operational necessity and the best interest of the department.”

  1. "City Council President Lloyd Martin said Tuesday that the council had adopted the new measure during a closed-door meeting prior to the regular afternoon session."

    Why was this done in a closed door meeting? Doesn't seem to me that it would meet the criteria for closed door. Sound like some kind of shenanigans to me. More OC BS.
