[RP TownTalk] Fwd:[PEN] COMMUNITY ADVISORY - Two Citizen Strong Arm Robberies; Aid of Maryland State Police Helicopter

[Edward Neilmeyer]

This is a model our community should follow.

Weekly reports from the law and enforcement department.

It keeps the community aware of what is happening, good or bad.

I don't have Nixle or a cell phone.

Mt. Rainer has a similar report.

The truth should never be candy coated.

Just because there wasn't an "official"police report does not mean a
citizen of our country did not sustain injuries and hospitalized, nor
should we discount the warnings.

We are all responsible citizens and the truth helps to dispel rumors and fears.
