There’s a little more than a month to go before President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in as president. Rehoboth Beach Police Chief Keith Banks said the city is working closely with the Secret Service on security measures for when that time comes.
Biden purchased a house in North Shores, a community between Rehoboth Beach and Gordons Pond, during the summer of 2017.
To date, Biden has visited his North Shores home twice since he was named winner of the 2020 presidential election. Both times, Secret Service and local police set up a checkpoint within the small beach community.
Speaking during a Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and Beach Committee meeting Dec. 14, Banks said there will be more security measures put in place – specifically, a checkpoint on Surf Avenue – when Biden actually becomes president. All this is being formulated right now, he said.
