ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo says the company in charge of security for a private event in Aspen attended by Vice President Joe Biden has agreed to reimburse local law enforcement agencies for their costs.
Biden was in town for fewer than 24 hours to speak during a private event called “The Weekend with Charlie Rose”, which brings together global officials for panel discussions. His 40-car motorcade caused rolling closures Friday and Saturday along the 70-mile route to and from Aspen from the Eagle airport.
DiSalvo told the Aspen Daily News (https://bit.ly/1DD9BR7) the visit required him to increase staffing and borrow deputies from Garfield County.
He’s sent a bill for nearly $8,200. Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario plans to ask for about $1,500 in expenses.
