The Frederick Police Department wants all children to be safe this Halloween. By following a few simple safety tips, parents and guardians can make this Halloween a safe and fun time for their trick-or-treaters.
Also, do not leave burning candles unattended.
The Partnership for Drug-Free America developed Parents360 and Youth360 in response to strong, positive feedback from Meth360, a multi-disciplinary community outreach program designed to enhance local efforts to deal with the impact of methamphetamine. Implementation of Meth360 resulted in many requests for a parents and youth version, prompting the Partnership to create both programs and expand the scope from methamphetamine to all drug and alcohol issues.
The programs are designed to be co-delivered in teams comprised of law enforcement officers, substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals, as well as other community members committed to the cause of raising awareness at local organizations, schools, churches and parent groups.
The goal of Parents360 (also called Parents: You Matter) is to increase parents’ understanding and confidence in preventing and addressing drug and alcohol issues. The multi-media training program aims to educate parents of teens/tweens about why kids use drugs and alcohol; what parents can do to protect their children, and tips on how to communicate with their kids, monitor their activities, how to spot drug/alcohol use and what a parent should do when they find it.
Youth360 (also called WreckED) is a teen-oriented substance abuse prevention education presentation program that aims to teach teens (15-19 years old) about the realities and consequences of substance use. The program encourages teens to think more introspectively about their own and their friends’ behavior regarding alcohol and other drugs, and to consider the associated consequences of getting involved. In addition to getting attendees to take a closer look at themselves, the presentation will also motivate them to be proactive in “looking out” for their friends who may be engaging in unhealthy behaviors.
Youth360 starts out with a video depicting all aspects of the contemporary drug and alcohol scene that is part of the teen life today, as well as real-life stories of addiction and recovery from the A&E Network program series Intervention. A special wreckED interactive card game was designed that focuses on the issues presented in the video, simulating real life choices, behaviors, and consequences. While the video sets up the bigger picture regarding alcohol and other drug use and abuse, the card game personalizes the choices, behaviors, and resulting consequences, giving the teens the opportunity to play out scenarios from their own experiences and viewpoint.
The Department is also pleased to continue the Meth360 Program to interested groups. This program presents the dangers and warning signs of Methamphetamine manufacture and use, as well as the consequences of becoming addicted.
All of the programs are coordinated through the Frederick Police Department. Please call Lt. Steve Tuel at 301-600-2715 to schedule a presentation.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America is a nonprofit organization uniting parents, renowned scientists and communications professionals to help families raise healthy children. The Partnership motivates and equips parents to prevent their children from using drugs and alcohol, intervene when drug and alcohol use is present and find help for family and friends in trouble. The Partnership’s site, drugfree.org, translates current research on teen behavior, addiction and treatment into easy to understand tips and tools and connects parents with expert advice and support. For parents who need help starting and maintaining conversations with their kids about drugs and alcohol, Time To Talk, a nationwide parents’ movement, offers empowering tips and tools at TimeToTalk.org. The Partnership depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and government. The Partnership thanks SAG/AFTRA and the advertising and media industries for their ongoing generosity.
While on foot officer’s attention was drawn to the sound of breaking glass. Officers came upon an individual who was to the rear of a business in the 300 block of W 7th St. Officers approached this individual, who was later identified as Christopher Wayne Allen, and asked what he was doing. Allen admitted he broke out the window, and planned on entering the business. Officers placed Allen under arrest for destruction of property and attempted 4th degree burglary. Through subsequent interview, Allen admitted his intention was to steal cash from inside the location. This investigation is continuing to ascertain Allen’s involvement in the previous burglaries.
Allen (photo right) was transported to central booking for processing without incident. No further information is available at this time.

The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) has awarded national accreditation to the Frederick Police Department. In addition, CALEA has designated the Frederick Police Department as a “Flagship Agency.” Police Chief Kim C. Dine appeared before the Commission in Virginia on August 1, 2009 to address the agency’s compliance with the National Law Enforcement Standards.
CALEA’s law enforcement accreditation represents the successful completion of an internal self-evaluation and a detailed outside review by a team of independent assessors. These examiners analyzed all areas of the Frederick Police Department, including policies, procedures and operations, as well as input from the public. The department had to comply with more than 400 standards to maintain accredited status.
Flagship agencies are those recognized by CALEA as “model” organizations and leaders in the Law Enforcement profession. According to the Commission, this designation was introduced in 2004 “to acknowledge the achievement and expertise of some of the most successful accredited public safety agencies, and to provide ‘flagship examples’ to assist other agencies.” The Frederick Police Department’s selection is based on the agency’s past awards, current assessment during the April 2009 on-site inspection and overall professional standing in the public safety community.
Chief Dine stated, “The Frederick Police Department is proud and honored to not only be re-accredited but to be recognized by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies as a “Flagship Agency.” This designation is a credit to the dedicated and proud men and women of the Frederick Police Department, both civilian and sworn, who work hard each day to provide professional police services to those who live, work, and spend time in Frederick. This special recognition is a result of their work. Likewise, the FPD would like to thank our residents for the overwhelming support we receive from them for our efforts. Awards like this are additional proof that when the police work in concert with the community they serve, everyone benefits.” Chief Dine also praised the excellent work of Ms. Dana Kelly, the Accreditation Coordinator for the Frederick Police Department, stating “achieving this honor was truly a team effort including all members of the agency and our extremely supportive residents, but through this entire grueling process, Ms. Kelly did an outstanding job.”
To maintain accreditation, the police department must submit yearly reports of its continuing compliance with CALEA standards. Formal on-site reviews are conducted by a team of assessors every three years. The Frederick Police Department has been nationally accredited since 2003.
THE MACHINE, America's BEST live Pink Floyd show, will perform at the Weinberg Center for The Arts in Frederick on Saturday, October 24th at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $20.00-$30.00. Hotel packages available. More info: www.weinbergcenter.org.
For over 20 years, The Machine has perpetuated Pink Floyd’s legacy through a multi-dimensional approach, faithfully recreating its timeless music. Significant use of expanded theatrical elements prevalent in Pink Floyd’s elaborate stage displays such as spectacular state-of-the-art lighting, multimedia accompaniments, and impeccable sound, result in strikingly faithful interpretations giving the band a reputation for excellence and creating an intimate connection with their loyal audience.
Their live show most often presents a cross-section of the sixteen-album repertoire that Pink Floyd amassed during their 30-year tenure as pioneers of experimental rock. On occasion the band performs Pink Floyd albums in their entirety, including Dark Side of The Moon in sync with the film "The Wizard of Oz" as well as the film version of The Wall, pleasing the most die-hard of fans. Their show is nothing less than a full out musical experience that’s not to be missed.
The Machine has performed at Bonnaroo, Musikfest, and all across Europe. In the last couple of years, the band has been backed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Delaware Symphony Orchestra the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and more!
Hailed for their “chilling accuracy” by Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine praises that The Machine "sound exactly like Pink Floyd," while The Village Voice declares that "The Machine is dead-on." The adoration continues from Bob Ezrin, the co-producer of Pink Floyd's seminal album The Wall, "these guys are great!" As Guitar One Magazine notes, "…you know you've got it going on when you sell out BB King's in New York City and Roger Water’s sax player jams with you." The New York Times, Washington Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer have all chimed in on the precision performances of The Machine.
The Machine has several releases available that capture their intense live show. Two Nights at the Keswick, from their 2003 performances, is a live concert CD and DVD; audio and visual proof that The Machine has perfected every vocal nuance, guitar riff, and improvisational delight that Pink Floyd wowed their audiences with for decades. The Machine Unplugged is an acoustic performance recorded at BB King’s in New York City, bringing to light some of the best of Pink Floyd and rarely played gems from the late Syd Barrett. The band’s latest release is the Live In Amsterdam DVD.
