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.
