The Westminster Police Department and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office will institute a joint special patrol detail for the upcoming holiday season. This detail has several purposes:
To provide an enhanced police presence in commercial areas to serve as a deterrent to robberies, shoplifting, thefts and associated crimes;
To provide a swift response to calls for service in these areas and to assist Patrol in handling the increased activity during this time of year;
To provide for enhanced enforcement of all traffic laws. Particular attention will be focused on impaired driving violations, speed violations, and occupant protections laws.
Enjoy The Holiday Bustle - But Be Aware
The end-of-year holiday season - with all its hustle and bustle - is fast approaching. With all the distractions and activity, we sometimes forget the basics for maximizing our safety on the streets and at home.
By staying alert and following a few common sense crime prevention tips, you can ensure a holiday season that is both happy and safe. A primary factor in crime prevention is being aware of our surroundings and potential areas of danger - thereby closing the criminal's keyhole of opportunity.
Outside of the mall or shopping area, stick to well-lit, well-traveled streets, walkways and parking areas - for both walking and parking.
Don't flash large amounts of cash or offer tempting targets for theft such as expensive jewelry or clothing.
Carry a purse or shoulder bag close to your body, not dangling by straps. Put a wallet in an inside pocket of your coat or front pants pocket.
Don't fumble for house or car keys. Have them in your hand, ready to use when you reach the car door.
The Westminster Police Department and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office hope that by being aware and keeping these few tips in mind, crime won't take a toll on your holidays!

November 24th, 2006
The Westminster Director of Planning and Public Works is currently serving our country in the Middle East.
He asked me to “say Happy Thanksgiving from (him) and hopefully a happy holiday season. I spent my Thanksgiving with our soldiers at LSA Anaconda, Balad, Iraq, north of Baghdad. I hope to spend Christmas with our soldiers at Bagram, Afghanistan, where we also have soldiers working.”
I asked Command Sergeant Major Beyard what he needed, if anything.
He responded by saying: “I am doing fine and our unit is doing fine. Your thoughts are fine with me. No need to send anything.”
Join me in thanking CSM Beyard for his service and wishing him a Happy Thanksgiving.
