Flight Officer Barry W. Wood  10th year Memorial Service
 
Barry was killed in the Line of Duty November 4, 1998 in a Helicopter crash while assisting police units with  a car chase on the ground. Barry tried to steer the severly damaged chopper as not to cause any injury to civilians on the ground and at the very last moment turned the chopper to crash on his side as to lessen injury to his observer.
A true Departmental Hero.

The Baltimore Maryland Police History Site is extremely proud to have received a truly remarkable and unbelievable piece of Baltimore Police History. Through the generosity of Mary Younger, the daughter of Baltimore City Police Lieutenant John Younger, Commander of the Marine Division, has supplied us with a home movie of the christening of the new Harbor Patrol boat THE BEVERLY OBER filmed in 1956.

RESPOND to the Marine Unit page to read more details of this fantastic find.

Letter from the Editor:

This site has been in operation since June 2006 and in that time I have been given the opportunity to hear from many fellow officer that I have personally worked with and many that I never had the opportunity to know before. I also have had the opportunity to hear from many supervisors and upper echelon of the department currently and from the past. I have also had the pleasure to hear from survivors of our Fallen Heroes and the family and friends of people who had worked with the Baltimore Police Department. I have even heard from members of other jurisdictions local and from other states and even from around the world. This site has given me that true spirit of the Law Enforcement Family and Community.

Everyone of the 1,000’s of Emails I have received have been a very favorable response. Many have been pictures and newspaper articles, many have been comments that the site has provided an invaluable amount of information about the department. Many emails have come from BPD personnel that have related that the site has brought back many fond memories of the men and women they have worked with. Many have enjoyed the Final Roll Call page, listing all of our deceased members of the department. Again reading the names have brought back memories of that person.

I have received countless request for information from this site to be used by the Baltimore Police Department and it’s members to be used for many different purposes. I have had numerous request by family members to include their relative on the site in one form or another. I welcome all these request and will do my best to include them on the site.

Countless people have sent me Baltimore Police information, pictures, articles involving our personnel.

To all that have submitted information to help preserve the history of the department, I am truly grateful.

My mission with this site is to have the most accurate and complete record of the Baltimore Police Department and to honor each and every person who has served.. If anyone should find anything that is in error or information that should be presented, please send it to me and I will correct the error and post any new information to the site.

Again I thank everyone who has taken the time to retrieve information from their attics, basements and storage areas and submit them to the site. I hope that more will dig up old information on their family members so that they will be remembered on the site and preserve our history and proud traditions.

This Site and Museum is always in need of Baltimore Police Memorabilia. If anyone has any BPD artifacts please let me know about them and hopefully we can make arrangement to purchase items, photograph them or copy them to keep our history intact.

Thanks to everyone for reading this site and please share this site with all who may have an interest in the Baltimore Police Department.

"On Patrol; Baltimore Police" is more than a typical police adventure; it is ten separate true stories about incidents that will keep the reader on the edge of the seat, gripped by the reality of the real characters as they play out each scene.

Serving more than ten years in the Baltimore City Police Department in the Western and Eastern Districts, Ed Malecki recalls some high tension action that will knock your sox off.

Listen closely and you will hear the handcuffs click away the bad guy's freedom. You can smell the crack cocaine and the gunpowder. Not all is terror and crime; Ed Malecki also finds humor in some not-so-funny places.

Get "On Patrol" today in paperback or e-book download at www.lulu.com/content/2405559 or at any internet book seller after July, 2008.  ISBN 978-0-6152-0986-9

For autographed and discounted copies contact Ed in Yakima,Wa. @ 509.877.7773 or maleckiJM@aol.com

Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 15,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.

The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.

"Fly the Blue" Blue Ribbon Campaign

During National Police Week, COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors)encourages the display of blue ribbons on car antennas.

Law enforcement personnel are encouraged to tie blue ribbons to cruiser antennas. Citizens are encouraged to tie blue ribbons to their car antennas. These blue ribbons are a reminder of law enforcement personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice and in honor of those men and women who serve their communities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year in and year out. Any strip of royal blue ribbon will work

IN_GOD_WE_TRUST1.jpg

"Lord, please hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."

 

Definition of a Veteran
 A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve

is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable
 to "The United States of America", for an amount  "up to and including their life."

 That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

LICENSE PLATE HONORS MARYLAND LOVED ONES KILLED IN WAR ...


The state has unveiled the Gold Star Family license plate to recognize and honor the service and sacrifice of Maryland families who have been awarded the Gold Star pin by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The Gold Star Family license plate in Maryland became a reality through the efforts of Gary Swanson, a recipient of the plate.

Swanson tells WBAL Radio that the plates are "just a reminder of everything that we enjoy in this country came with a price." Swanson says he wanted to do something to bring some comfort to his wife after their son, Christopher was killed during his third tour of duty in Iraq in July of 2006.

Swanson says so far about 60 plates have been issued in Maryland. He and his wife have the first two. Gold Star plates are issued to parents, children or spouses of members of the military who were killed in action during wartime service.

The estimated 9000 Maryland families of those who gave their life for this country can apply for these plates by contacting the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
