VIDEO: Help Rockville City Police Take the Plunge for Special Olympics

City police will be ‘freezin’ for a reason’ with another dip in the Bay.

Rockville city police will take a chilly dip in the Chesapeake Bay again in January as the department participates in the 17th Annual Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge.

The plunge, set for Jan. 26 at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, features thousands taking a dip to raise money for Special Olympics Maryland.

Click on the video above, courtesy Rockville 11, for more on the department’s participation.

You can help support Special Olympics by donating to the Rockville city police plunge team. Here’s how:

  • Go to plungemd.com.
  • Click on “Donate.”
  • Under “Sponsor a Plunger” and “Enter a Plunger’s Name,” type in the name “Chris Day.” Cpl. Day appears in the Rockville 11 video above. (Or search under another city officer’s name to see if they’re participating in this year’s plunge.)
  • Click on “chris day” when it appears on the search page. You will be directed to a donation page where you can donate to Cpl. Day’s fundraising effort.

Rockville city police went "all in" for last year's plunge, which raised more than $2.1 million. Click here to see video of members of the department taking the plunge.

Twinbrook Swimming Pool (TSP) can hold three public open house days to introduce the pool toRead More perspective members. This year the dates are June 8, July 13 and August 10. The cost is $5 per person. The TSP has a big insurance policy to cover swimmers. Not sure free is appropriate. As a private membership pool, there are regulations that must be followed.

Does either county or city pool offer free trial periods? I don't think so.

If you swim on the 3 open public swim days at the Twinbrook Swimming Pool, you can consider it aRead More trial. Liability insurance does cost money. Entrance of $5 is a real bargain. Members pay to maintain the pool.

I am so sorry this happened to your girls! There is no excuse for the theater personnel notRead More helping. I hope you get an apology from management. Perhaps the city police should have an officer in the area after the last movie.

Yaaaay! Lets put it on the police again. Good thinking the Deb. How about Kate gets her daughter aRead More chaperone. Ask 2 people and then a movie theatre employee and then walk home? That story sounds really fishy. I don't believe the world is in as bad a shape as Kate purports.

I think more facts are necessary here. When you didn't hear from them you didn't go to theater toRead More find them? It is hard to know where blame lies here, not knowing how old these girls are. It sounds like your daughter and god daughter don't have their own phones? No matter my children's age, I make it a point to know the running times of the movies they're at, especially if I am the one who is going to be picking them up. We warn children--especially girls and young women--not to go to strangers for help. We know that of the three girls, the man kidnapped one who was his daughter's friend after giving her a lift.

Looking forward to seeing our Sister City Pinneberg dancers perform. Thank you to all RockvilleRead More families for hosting our German guests and for Karen Rawlins coordinating the dance exchange. Brigitta Mullican
