Unofficial St. Pat's security costs top $30,000

Costs for extra police and other staff for "Unofficial St. Patrick's Day" were more than $30,000.

Those costs included overtime pay for patrol officers and other staff for police and university personnel, but that was expected with the intended strategy of having more officers on the streets.
