The rally will take place Saturday, May 25 in downtown Dayton

The Cleveland Police Department has agreed to share resources with the Dayton Police Department ahead of a white supremacy rally being held Saturday, May 25 in downtown Dayton.

The Honorable Sacred Knights of Indiana, a Ku Klux Klan affiliated group, has planned a rally at Dayton’s Courthouse Square. Officials in Dayton are expecting large crowds and want to be as prepared as possible.

During Monday's Cleveland City Council meeting it was announced that the two departments will share forces, equipment and additional security measures.

“Hate has no place in our society,” said Councilman Matt Zone, a sponsor of the legislation. “This reciprocal agreement between Cleveland and Dayton ensures the protection of free speech as well as the public peace.”
