Executive editor — issues and opinionsShomrim Football Game Vs. Police on Sunday
Sunday is going to be a day of fun, football and a community showing its appreciation for our City’s Police force.
From 1-5 p.m. the grounds of Northwestern High School at Park Heights Avenue and Fallstaff Road will be transformed into a festive carnival with children’s activities, food, police exhibitions and of course the big game. Shomrim will take on the Northwest District of the City Police Department in a game of flag football. This is the second time the two groups have faced off in football. Last year, Shomrim won, 40-13. The score, however, is less important, than the opportunity to come together and raise monies for the City Police Mounted Patrol Unit, which has been in existence since 1888 and is hampered by financial constraints.
Shomrim, which started only four years ago as the “eyes and ears of the police” in Upper Park Heights and Pikesville, is looking forward to day for families to meet city and community officials, police and other neighbors.
The Honorable Judge Chaya Friedman will serve as emcee for the day’s activities. We will be treated with the voices of the singing group “Who Knows 5?” We are looking forward to greetings from the mayor and police commissioner.
It’s going to be such a great day, something to bring the entire community together.
