Read our privacy policy Cities across the US have tried to chase down money they say Donald Trump’s campaign owes them for providing law enforcement and other public safety measures at his hours-long rallies. A letter reviewed by NBC News shows the city charging Trump’s campaign for crowd control, traffic control, barricades and towing, another law enforcement resource. The federal law enforcement agency says that campaigns do not typically request local assistance for campaign activities, but the Secret Service “lacks a mechanism to reimburse local governments for their support during protective events,” according to a statement from spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi. Officials have acknowledged that while Trump may not be legally obligated to pay for additional local law enforcement support, the necessary measures for his events place a significant burden on the resource-strained cities he visits — compared to the millions of dollars his campaign raises — and have billed him accordingly.
