BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — This week, the Baltimore County Police Department will participate in several events and activities recognizing the second annual National Faith and Blue Weekend Oct. 8-11. Faith and Blue Weekend is supported by every major law enforcement group and police department in the country and has been embraced by religious communities nationwide, according to the Baltimore County Police Department. "Despite numerous pandemic-related challenges last year, the inaugural Faith and Blue Weekend was extremely successful in Baltimore County. This initiative is based on the foundation that strong communities are built on mutual respect and understanding. Our faith-based partners are pillars in our communities and when we all work together there are long-lasting, positive effects," Baltimore County Police Chief Melissa R. Hyatt said. Faith and Blue provides an opportunity to reinforce connections between law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve through the reach of houses of worship. The following is a list of events that are scheduled throughout Baltimore County.
