With the Bills' first home game Thursday, law enforcement have come forward with new security measures, including enhanced security presence and walk-through metal detectors at New Era Field.
According to Orchard Park Police Chief Mark Pacholec, there are a few private lots near the stadium that are the most concerning from a law enforcement standpoint.
Law enforcement and Orchard Park residents said before the meeting Tuesday that they would discuss a permit system for private lot owners to allow police access during home Bills games. Officials believe this permit system could make it easier for law enforcement to handle situations that happen on private property nearby the stadium.
"We're not talking about the mom-and-dad, smaller lots, and we're not talking about the bulk of them, but there are a handful of them-- five, six lots, that continually present problems," Pacholec said last week. "Car larcenies. People jumping on burning tables and setting themselves on fire. People do stupid things that are going to get themselves and others hurt."
