Westminster Md., Friday, Jan. 9, 2015 - Several hundred hardy folks braved 25 degree temperatures to show their appreciation for Carroll County area law enforcement agencies this evening at 7 p.m. between the County Office Building and the Sheriff’s Office located at 225 North Center Street, Westminster

In a prepared remarks, the Carroll County board of commissioners said they wanted to come together “to show our gratitude and appreciation for all that our police personnel do for the citizens of Carroll County each and every day…

“Please join us in showing our support for each of the law enforcement agencies in Carroll County, including the municipal police forces, the Sheriff’s personnel as well as the State Police. Take a tour of the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Command Vehicle and other law enforcement vehicles that will be on hand.

“Every day police officers put their lives in harm’s way to protect law abiding citizens; Friday evening is a time for each of us to thank these brave men and women for their service and for keeping our community safe.”

Also speaking were Carroll County Delegate Justin Ready, Carroll County Sheriff Jim DeWees, Carroll County State’s Attorney Brian DeLeonardo and Delegate-elect and former Hampstead mayor and county commissioner Haven Shoemaker –of whom many ‘blamed’ in a good-natured way, for coming up with the idea for the event – that took place in frigid temperatures and a brisk bone-chilling wind.

Among the many folks also attending were the head of the Westminster Police Department dispatchers Brenda Roper, members of FOP Lodge # 20, including Lodge vice-president Steven E. Rogers, former Westminster Vol. Fire Department president Bob Cumberland, and several allied agencies and organizations, such as Catherine’s Cause; that are a constant source of support and encouragement for law enforcement officer.

The event concluded with the commissioners being award a ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag. A spokesperson explained that on the ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag, the top line represents the public, the bottom line represents the criminals and the blue line in the center represent the thin blue line that separates the public from the criminals.

The program concluded with a prayer by the Carroll County Detention Center chaplain Bob Kimmel.

Be Safe out there.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-tristreet-block-party-20130917,0,934631.story

Fully equipped with a spatula, sunglasses, hat and an apron, Darcel Harris was all smiles Sept. 15 as she answered questions, cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and helped coordinate activities for over 300 folks who attended the 11th annual Pennsylvania Avenue – Tristreet Association block party in Dutterer Family Park in Westminster.

The event included multi-cultural food dishes made by residents, local fruits and vegetables donated by local farmers, dancing, pie eating contests, and educational activities for children provided by the Westminster Police Department, the Carroll County NAACP and GROW Mission (God’s Regeneration of Westminster) – one of the many local grassroots community organizations in which Harris participates.

According to Harris, the March 2013 recipient of the of the 21st annual Carroll County Human Relations Commission achievement award, the neighborhood get together was the brainchild of former Westminster City Councilwoman, 1991-1995, Rebecca Orenstein.

Orenstein, 71, recently passed away on Aug. 31.

Westminster Police Investigate Fatal Shooting

On March 16, 2012 at approximately 11:45 a.m. police officers and emergency medical personnel responded to a residence in the 400 block of South Hills Court in Westminster for the report of a shooting.

Upon arrival they found a male on the first floor of the home suffering from a single gunshot wound. The victim was alert and conscious at the time. He was transported by EMS staff to the University Of Maryland Shock Trauma Center where he died during surgery.

The victim has been identified as Vygants Tomas Campe (46 years of age) of Hanover, MD.

Investigators have determined that the victim was visiting with the owner of the residence at the time of the shooting.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the home owner was handling a pistol on the second floor of the home when it discharged. It appears that the projectile passed through the floor and struck the victim who was lying on the couch in the living room.

No charges have been placed at this time and the investigation is ongoing. Investigators are conferring with representatives of the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Maryland State Police: Skeletal Remains Found Along A Path In Carroll County Launches An Investigation

Maryland State Police Press Release 10/09/2012

Skeletal Remains Found Along A Path In Carroll County Launches An Investigation

(Westminster, MD) -- A Maryland State Police investigation has been initiated after skeletal remains were found along a path in a vacant lot in Carroll County, Md.

Maryland State Police Homicide investigators were contacted by Westminster Police Department and asked to assume this investigation.

Preliminary, the investigation reveals a human bone was found by citizens as they walked through a vacant lot in the 500 block of Baltimore Blvd in Westminster, shortly before noon on October 6, 2012.

The walkers immediately contacted 911 alerting the Westminster Police Department. Additional assistance was requested from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit. After investigators arrived, a search of the area revealed additional skeletal remains.

All remains were processed and recovered at the scene by a forensic investigator and crime scene technicians. The skeletal remains were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an examination and autopsy.

Investigators are unable to identify the remains at this time. The medical examiner’s findings stated the skeletal remains were consistent with a male. Information has been communicated to police departments throughout the region and requests have been made to check missing person files for potential persons matching the currently available information.

Additional forensic tests are continuing. Evidence obtained at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be reviewed and used to further the investigation into the identity of the remains and the mode of death.

State Police Homicide Unit will continue the investigation. They have been assisted by Westminster Barrack criminal investigators, State Police crime scene technicians as well as members of the Westminster Police Department.

Anyone who may have information is urged to contact Maryland State Police investigators immediately at 410-386-3000

Westminster turns off pair of red light cameras, saying they've done their job

Carroll Eagle – Jim Joyner: Westminster turns off pair of red light cameras, saying they've done their job

Westminster turns off pair of red light cameras, saying they've done their job

But police will maintain camera at Nursery Road, where violations are high

By Jim Joyner, http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2012/08/westminster-turns-off-pair-of-red-light.html

July 12, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/ph-ce-red-lights-0715-20120711,0,1274939.story

The City of Westminster this week pulled the plug on a pair of red light cameras at one of the county's busiest intersections — at routes 140 and 97 — saying the cameras had, by and large, done their job in helping reduce accidents and red light runners.

"You do what you say you're going to do," said Maj. Ron Stevens of the Westminster Police Department regarding the removal of the cameras, which was approved by the Westminster Common Council on Monday.

"We said all along that the cameras were needed because of safety issues," Stevens said. "They've definitely worked — people are much more aware of the dangers of the intersection."

But the department will continue to operate another red light camera a block away at Route 97 and Nursery Road, based on data that shows continued high rates of violations on that stretch of road.

It's the second time that Westminster has reduced its use of red light cameras since it first installed five of the devices in spring 2010.
