HdG Police Department Asks For Cleaning Supplies Amid Coronavirus

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Empty shelves are not only complicating things for residents. The Havre de Grace Police Department put out a call for assistance Wednesday after being unable to find cleaning products for the station on Pennington Avenue.

"We know that first responders and healthcare workers are drastically more susceptible to being exposed to COVID-19 than the general public," the Havre de Grace Police Department said in a statement Wednesday. "Our supplies are very low, and we are reaching out to the public and businesses to assist us as much as possible."

Photos of Lysol all-purpose cleaner, Clorox disinfecting wipes, Purell hand sanitizer and a face mask accompanied the police department's social media post. Gloves are also needed, police said.

People can donate cleaning products to the police department, where there will be a drop box in the lobby at 715 Pennington Avenue. Social distancing will be in effect at the station, police said.

Anyone who has "sizable amounts" or cannot drop off the supplies themselves may call the Havre de Grace Police Department to arrange pickup at 410-939-2121.
