Ocean City Police Department Press Release

OCEAN CITY POLICE INVITED TO ASSIT DURING
PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION

The Ocean City Police Department was recently invited to assist during the historic 56th Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2009 in Washington, DC. Ten members of the Ocean City Police Department, and two members of the Fire Marshal’s office, will join nearly 4,000 law enforcement agencies from across the country to help with an expected Inauguration Day crowd of more than 1 million people.

Ocean City Police participants will be deputized by the U.S. Marshals on January 19, 2009, to support specifically designated National Security Special Events on January 20th, including the inauguration, the parade and the official inaugural balls. The Ocean City Police Department will be assigned to a specific area Pennsylvania Avenue for the Presidential Inaugural Parade.

In addition, Chief Bernadette DiPino was asked as the President of the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association to represent the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics by walking in the parade. The Maryland Torch Run has contributed nearly $6 million to Special Olympics athletes in Maryland since its inception in 1986. Chief DiPino will also be joined by her daughter Tabitha, a police officer for the Baltimore County Police Department, and will appear second during the parade sequence.

“It is a huge professional honor for our department to be chosen to participate in the Presidential Inaugural Parade,” commented Chief DiPino. “Not to mention the enormous personal honor it is for me to represent the Maryland Chiefs of Police and the Special Olympics.”

Ultra-Man is giant he would never fit on a horse unless it was giant horse, "Hyatta" could ride a regular horse. Hyatta has to use the Beta-Capsule to become Ultra-Man. He only uses the capsule when the monsters are destroying the city.

MSP Salisbury are also going to be there to provide security. They have to be there are 2:30 am in the morning and be on the parade route by 5:00 AM. They also deserve recognition.
