While the protests and riots in Baltimore have waned after a peak on Monday night, the situation is still very fluid and continues to change. Throughout the week, local law enforcement agencies, including the Berlin Police Department, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and officers from the Maryland State Police Berlin barrack, for example, have sent manpower and resources to assist in Baltimore. On Thursday afternoon, the OCPD confirmed it was sending an undisclosed number of officers and/or units to join the fray.
“Our thoughts are with the citizens of Baltimore and the law enforcement professionals and emergency responders that have been working tirelessly to maintain peace in the Baltimore area,” said OCPD spokesperson Lindsay Richard late Thursday. “Members of the Ocean City Police Department have been deployed to Baltimore to support the ongoing efforts of the Baltimore Police Department, Maryland State Police, Maryland National Guard and many other law enforcement agencies and emergency responders.”

LOL for what to give out jaywalking tickets?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty expensive baby sitting.
ReplyDeleteamid the context of OCPD not being able to hire qualified applicants, my OC tax dollars are now being used to supplement the CF known as the BaltoPD - sorry, I do not support this sacrificial offering :(
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying extensively for their safety and the safety of everyone who is trying to help regain control of Baltimore.
ReplyDelete9:53-We'll pay one way or another as residents of MD. Is it better to pay some now to try and keep Baltimore from burning completely or pay later for cleanup?
ReplyDeleteBaltimore police captain was asked to send officers to the city with instructions to have them "stand down". He refused and sent no one.
ReplyDelete1005 the thugs want it to burn so us tax payers build them NEW stuff once again compliments of the tax $$$.
ReplyDeleteRight-We'll pay no matter. Baltimore will get federal and state funds since the state of emergency was declared.
ReplyDeleteMoney will be available to reimburse outside LE agencies too, but that still comes out of tax payers pocket. It is a no win situation as far as tax payers go.
Remember OCPD Chief came from Baltimore, what did you expect? He hasn't done anything here.
