Police Recognize 'Unsung Heroes' At Anne Arundel Hospitals

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — In the past few days, officers with the Anne Arundel County Police Department have shown support for other men and women on the front line of the new coronavirus pandemic.

On April 7, officers formed a parade and drove past Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis with their lights flashing and sirens sounding to show their appreciation for the staff members there, along with all medical professionals, on World Health Day 2020.

"We thank you for your lifesaving work today and every day," the department posted on its Facebook page.

Anne Arundel Police Lt. Daniel Sereboff, who helped organize the effort, wanted to recognize medical professionals as the "unsung heroes" not just during the pandemic, but every day. Dozens of employees emerged from the hospital to cheer on their private personal parade.

Hospital spokeswoman Arminta Plater told The Capital Gazette that AAMC is "grateful for their partnership with law enforcement and other workers working to stop the spread of the virus."

“We are gratified and humbled by the way the community has rallied around our health care heroes. Today, local law enforcement made their support known loud and clear," Plater wrote in an email to The Capital. “We all have a role to play in the battle against COVID-19. Everything being done outside of the hospital impacts what we can do inside of the hospital. We’re in this together.”

On April 8, police officers also drove past Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie to salute the staff members there, too, as a show of support during such uncertain and trying times.

"Honoring our heroes! We can't thank our medical professionals enough," the department shared on its Facebook page.
