Residents of the Village of Brockport will have the opportunity to request free tickets to the First Responders Appreciation Day planned at Frontier Field Sunday, July 17.
Brockport Police Lieutenant Mark Cuzzupoli says Dom Genova of Genesee Valley Motors donated 1,500 tickets to the Monroe County Chiefs of Police Association.The tickets were then allocated to each police agency in Monroe County. Brockport Police will make their block of 200 tickets available to interested residents starting Tuesday, July 5.
“Residents will be able to come to the Police Department and request tickets to go to the game on a first-come, first-serve basis,” Lieutenant Cuzzupoli says. “It will be an opportunity for citizens in the community to go to a ball game and to see their police officers out of uniform.”
The Rochester Red Wings will be playing the Norfolk Tides at 1:35 p.m. on July 17. First Responders Appreciation Day is an opportunity for the Wings to honor the brave men and women who help protect us everyday, the Red Wings website states.
Lieutenant Cuzzupoli says those who are interested in obtaining tickets can come to the Police Department, 1 Clinton Street, starting July 5. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The tickets were divided amongst the police departments by sections, meaning Brockport residents who attend will all be sitting in the same section together, Lieutenant Cuzzupoli says.
In other news from the Brockport Police Department, the lieutenant reported on a click-it or ticket detail the Brockport Police Department held during a four day period around the Memorial Day weekend on Main Street in the village. The detail was funded by grant money, Lieutenant Cuzzupoli says. Ninety-three tickets were issued, including 57 for seat belt violations.
The detail was held between the Canal bridge and the railroad bridge. “We are trying to be innovative in our enforcement,” Lieutenant Cuzzupoli said of the detail. “We encourage motorists to wear seat belts and not to talk or text on their cell phones while driving.”
