Frederick Maryland Online Forum: Police News

    YIKES! Sometimes I am curious about such things as well. There must be access to police reports. Does your neighborhood have a neighborhood advisory council? The whole city is divided up into neighborhoods, though I think the divisions need to be smaller. You can probably find out on the county website, or call the shariff's office. Maybe they can direct you to police reports.

    I live on 40 off of McCain and I too am wondering what happened around there last night. We had a bunch of sirens go past our house last night. I noticed that about 5 days ago some grafitti claiming to be MS-13 was on a few of the fences near the park with the pond and then yesterday there was some red retaliatory graffiti over it. I have no idea if that had anything to do with the sirens but it had me thinking about it.

    The sirens last night were apartments on fire over on Elmwood Terrace. That IS on the FNP today, although not the top story, not sure why. But it was actually longer than last week, maybe 3 weeks ago, we heard about 8-10 gunshots coming from the area of the high school - we are on Fairview. And saw police driving around but never heard anything. Its unsettling.

    Thanks for the info. I haven't heard any gunshots but I wouldn't be surprised if I did.

    I would say get and listen to a police scanner, but the Frederick police use frequency hoppers to defeat the druggies who listen also.

    You might also check out the news releases on the FPD's website.

    A tangent: I'm a graduate of the FPD's Citizen Police Academy, and I highly recommend it for learning about what the police do and how it affects you. More about it here. And like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover kept telling Joe Pesci: No, you don't get to carry a gun. But you do get to fire one.

    FYI MS 13 tagged Waverly Elementary School Tuesday night.
    Pretty scary since my son goes there.
