Letter to mayor, police chief from Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 38
Click below to view a copy of the letter that was sent Wednesday, Sept. 3, informing Mayor Don Ryan and Chief Neil Ferdelman that members of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 38, which represents police officers in Hamilton and other agencies, will refuse off-duty security requests for the opening of the mayor’s restaurant, Ryan’s Tavern. With layoffs still on the table, the police union’s decision to do this is an act of frustration with city leaders, said Dick Holzberger, a former sheriff and Hamilton police officer who now owns The Christmas Store which is next door to Ryan’s Tavern. Kenny Craig, president of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, said he is meeting with chamber board members today, Sept. 9, to decide what their stance will be in regards to the police union’s action.
