The move to close the boardwalk came after what authorities say were numerous incidents of civil unrest.
6abc Digital StaffPolice declared a state of emergency and shut down the boardwalk. It was one of a few locations that experienced problems. Wildwood police say they have now lifted the state of emergency that was put in place in the Jersey Shore community Sunday night.
The high volume of calls also prevented police from responding to certain calls for service, which prompted the state of emergency to be issued just after 12 a.m. Monday morning, officials added. Authorities say the emergency measure was able to effectively address the problem, and thanked shore visitors and residents for coping with the inconvenience."Wildwood will not tolerate unruly, undisciplined, unparented children nor will we stand by while the laws of the state tie the hands of the police. We wholeheartedly support the City of Wildwood Police Department in protecting this community from these nuisance crowds on our boardwalk and in the city.
