• Havre de Grace formalizes civilian safety team after shooting in Bully Rock (harfordcountysun.com) — Havre de Grace has formally made its Community Emergency Response Team part of the police department after a violent car theft, and Aberdeen officials have already reached out to learn how to start a similar program. For Aberdeen residents, this could signal future opportunities to join trained volunteer safety efforts.
