MOVE OVER for all stopped vehicles that are displaying any type of caution signals or warning lights when approaching from the rear. If you cannot safely move over into an available lane that’s not immediately adjacent to the stopped vehicle, SLOW DOWN. #MoveOverMD

Seemingly routine trips can be deceptively dangerous. Always buckle up!

The message continues to be: ALL drones are to stay away from the site of the #KeyBridge collapse. #NoDroneZone means NO drones. Flying a drone is harmful to recovery operations and it is illegal. Please help us continue to keep emergency responders & salvage crews safe.

In just 10 minutes the temps inside a car can rise by 20°. So, on a 90° day, temperatures inside a car can reach over 110°, which can be deadly for child or a pet. Never leave your child or pet alone in a vehicle. #HeatstrokeKills #MDOTCares

Will Ashbaugh, a @hcpss_mrhs senior who has autism, will throw out the first pitch at the @Orioles game tonight as part of Autism Acceptance Night. SRO Ryan Kane wanted to make sure he looked the part, so he had a custom Orioles jersey made for Will and presented it to him today!

The message is simple: ALL drones are to stay away from the site of the #KeyBridge collapse. The No Drone Zone ensures the safety of all emergency responders and crews and that their work is not interfered with. Flying a drone is harmful to recovery operations and it is illegal.

On April 13, four suspects committed an armed robbery at a tobacco shop in Ellicott City. They fled in what was determined to be a stolen vehicle. Thanks to patrol officers' great work, three juvenile suspects were arrested that night. Extended video:

Those flashing lights aren’t for decoration. #MoveOver or #SlowDown when you see vehicles with emergency indicators — lights, flares or cones — on the side of the road. #NWZAW #Orange4Safety

On Apr. 9, #HoCoPolice responded to a Columbia neighborhood for a vehicle collision. Witnesses reported seeing a male run from the vehicle, and officers determined the vehicle was stolen. Great coordination between patrol units and a drone operator to locate the juvenile suspect!
