The new iron gates at the entrance are a safety success. According to Chief Mike Romano, director of police and risk management, the Police Department has seen a significant decrease in trespassing.

“Most of the trespassers were following GPS and thought South Central Avenue was a through street,” said Officer Jerry Conoboy.

While these gates ensure BRC’s protection, they also keep the public safe from wandering into a potential situation.

The gates are equipped with LED lighting to enhance their visibility.
