PERRY HALL, MD—Baltimore County Councilman David Marks on Monday reminded residents of two upcoming community meetings where residents can learn about what is being done to combat crime.

Both meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 28, 2020.

The Parkville Police Community Relations Council will meet at Christus Victor Lutheran Church, 9833 Harford Road at 7 p.m., but there will be a special refresher course at 6 p.m. for those interested in starting a Citizens on Patrol program. Officer Jason Goorevitz will conduct the course, which should last approximately 40 minutes. Anyone who is currently a member of a COP, or who is thinking about starting one, is encouraged to attend.

The Towson Police Community Relations Council will meet at the Hillendale Resource Center, 1055 Taylor Avenue, also at 7 p.m.

“Public safety must be a fundamental priority for local government,” said Councilman Marks. “I share the deep concern felt by many of my constituents about the recent crime wave that began in Baltimore City but is now affecting Baltimore County. We can assist our police by bolstering neighborhood watch programs and community partnerships, such as we have done in Seven Courts.”
