It is understood by the parties that the Department and its police officers do not owe a greater level of police services or protection under this Contract than is owed to the public generally.

In addition, if the Department receives information that greater numbers of people are expected than was first anticipated, additions will be made in the number of officers assigned, subject to Paragraph number 8, as above. Assignment of officers is in the sole discretion of the Department and subject to availability.
