Bedminster, Somerset County and New Jersey State Police are concerned about how to provide and pay for heightened 24/7 police, fire and ambulance protection for Donald Trump at his golf club in Bedminster.

A request for extra coverage came from the Secret Service, following the July 13 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on the former president and current Republican presidential candidate.

The bill for extra local and state police protection comes to $1 million, according to Bedminster Mayor Larry Jacobs.

“Rather than a wish and a prayer and, ‘Don’t worry, the check will be in the mail,’ we’d rather know that those resources can be provided,” Jacobs told reporters at Bedminster’s municipal building Thursday.

“Bedminster’s a small town. Somerset County is a small county. But when the federal government makes a request like, ‘Hey, can you provide some assets over here’ in the wake of what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, you really have no choice but to say, ‘OK, we’ll help.’ But let us know if we’re going to get paid on the back end.”

Bedminster had extra expenses covering Trump’s activity in the area — his traditional summer residence — particularly during the transition following his 2016 election. The latest request is of another order of magnitude, officials said.

“Certainly after July 13th, the request for assets and the extent and scope of those assets are tremendous,” said Jacobs, who met behind closed doors Thursday morning in a roundtable requested by state Sen. Doug Steinhardt. Under discussion was how the unprecedented security demands would be met over the upcoming fall presidential campaign.

“There have been increased demands,” Steinhardt said. “And those demands need to be met. And a lot of that is falling on Mayor Jacobs and Bedminster — a town of 8,200 people …  a police dept of 16 members and a volunteer fire and EMS. And all those folks are answering the call.

“As they’re being deployed to lend assistance there, that means they may not be potentially available in other places,” Steinhardt said. “The purpose of the discussion today is to make it loud and clear to those in charge in Washington that this is their responsibility. We’re willing to do our part, but they need to do theirs.”

The Secret Service relies heavily on local resources but there’s no guarantee it will pay extra for those resources, said Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-7th), who also participated in the discussion. Kean is the sponsor of a bill that would let local entities like Bedminster or Somerset County seek reimbursement for extra security expenses from the Department of Homeland Security.

Members of the governor’s office and Sen. Cory Booker’s office were also at the meeting.
