Badge Numbers

Baltimore City Police
Badge Number Assignments

For now the list is in no particular order. So we suggest using Ctrl on your PC and typing in the badge, pistol, or call box key number you are looking for. To be fair, these numbers are regenerated, so an officer with the badge number on this site may not be the guy or gal wearing it today. This list is maintained to give credit to the officers that once wore these badges, and with the list, collectors might be able to put a name to their badge. Same goes for the Pistol numbers and call box key numbers. Note: If a rank is not shown, assume it to be a patrolman's or patrolwoman's badge number.

This is the unofficial history site of the Baltimore Police Department. It depicts the history of the department as it was originally conceived of and told by retired officer William M. Hackley. Sadly, Officer Hackley passed away on 15 March 2012 leaving his site to Ret. Det. Kenny Driscoll. It took a month or so to take full responsibility for the site and its content. The thoughts and use of certain items, terms, sounds, and implications are not necessarily those that would be agreed upon by the Baltimore Police Department as an official government agency. Likewise, we do not seek their permission or approval to post the things we post, and as such, nothing in these pages should be held against them.

If you have old uniforms, paperwork, pictures, paystubs, leather belts, hats, etc., contact us. We attempt to preserve as much of our police history as we can, and looking through every scrap of paper is what has helped us take the site from 90 pages to about 10 times that now. We need these old log books, case books, etc. We received a case book that was kept up by a sergeant from the late 1930s to the early 1950s, and in it he kept the names, badge numbers, call box key numbers, pistol numbers, and, where available, the officer's Iron Claw serial numbers. This information was transcribed, giving us more than 100 names and numbers from that era. That list can be found HERE If you have questions, information, or items you want to donate or sell, contact us. We are available t pick things up and will help with shipping costs. What might not seem important could help us answer questions we have been trying to answer for years.

The intent of this site is more than just to tell our history; it is to have everyone remember our injured and fallen heroes, those who, in the performance of their duties, were called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice.

So as you surf these pages, you will see the Baltimore Police Department from its infancy, showing the crude methods of policing in the 1700s, through to the 1800s, and becoming the modern, highly efficient department that it has become today.

Enjoy the site for what it is: a rendition of the proud history of one of this country’s finest Police departments, one for which those of us who have worked there are proud of and honored to have served. The many men and women that still proudly serve, and those that someday will serve.

Straight & Narrow

First Traffic Lines

15 Nov, 1914


WALK THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

What are those white lines painted on the street, stretching right across the asphalt, mean? Scores asked the men who were painting, hundreds have looked at them, stopped and wondered. Thousands who walks through the business district of the city have noticed recently at the street intersections of Baltimore Street from the Fallsway to Howard Street, and on Howard from Baltimore Street to Franklin, these heavy white lines on all four sides of the intersecting streets. The lines extend from curb to curb, those on the north and south sides of the street running East and West, and those on the east and west sides of the streets running north and south. One of the lines on each side runs coincident with the building line; the other with the curb between these lines all Baltimoreans who use Shanks’ mare as their mode of traveling must walk in the future. There is to be no “cutting catty corner” at these intersections. Everyone must hew to the line or the policemen stationed at these crossings will know the reason why.

In Cleveland and Detroit.

In other words, Baltimore is about to inaugurate an arrangement in the way of handling the traffic situation that has been in vogue for some time in the number of large cities of the country. Those who have visited Cleveland and Detroit have undergone the experience of being held up by the policeman at the crossing when they attempt to scoot diagonally from one corner of the street to another. They had to go around about way, and perhaps some of them have murmured at what they thought of as a useless and childish procedure. In some of these cities the lines are not used, while in others there is quite an involve system of lines. Which it takes a little time to puzzle out. In all of these cities the adoption of either the line system or that used, for example, in Cleveland, where the police simply directed the way the Pedestrian shall go, has been rewarded with beneficial results in the saving of life and limb. In Baltimore in the last five years the toll of life and limb exacted by streetcars, automobiles and other vehicles has been considerable. Perhaps 50 persons have been killed or died from their injuries. It is doubtful if, in all this list, there can be found a verdict given by a coroner’s jury in which the victim of the accident was not blamed to some extent for carelessness. In every instance it seems to have been a case where the person who was killed steps to directly in the path of the automobile or the trolley car, and that the motorman or the chauffeur had no time to bring his car or automobile to a stop. Often there have been no disinterested witnesses to the accident. The victim’s lips are sealed by death. The person who ran him down naturally testifies in his own defense. With conditions existing as they are in Baltimore today, it is a wonder that more persons are not killed or injured. There are always some few persons so careless and driving automobiles and other vehicles that they are a constant danger to pedestrians. As long as some men will not respect the rights of others and as long as many people are so careless of their own protection, the city must step to the defense of those who either cannot or will not take care of themselves.

The Way It Works

The layout of these lines is regarded as an important step toward the better handling of traffic. City engineer McKay is initiating the innovation. He will shortly write a letter to the board of police commissioners asking them to have the members of the Police Department cooperate with city authorities in seeing that the new plan is carried out. When that system is put in force a person wishing to cross, say from the south west side of Baltimore and Charles streets to the northeast corner of Baltimore and Charles streets, will have to walk east on the south side of Baltimore Street to the southeast corner of the intersecting streets and thence North to his objective point. There may be some persons who object on the grounds that this means a waste of time and energy. Doubtless they will in the future see its good points. When once the traffic patrolman gives the signal for persons moving east and west to move on every vehicle bound North and South must stop. When he gives the sign to those on their way north and south every vehicle moving east and west must stop every person moving along between the lines is absolutely protected. If, though some disobedience of the law of a driver should persist on his way and a person is cut down between the lines, the party guilty of the violation will have practically no defense and will probably have to face a lawsuit for damages. The city engineering department intends to place these lines throughout most of the traffic congested districts. It is only continuation of the policy of the city officials that “life is not cheap.”

The Useful Traffic Squad

It will surprise some to learn that the money required for the protection of people from injury resulted from the traffic reaches into the thousands and the thousands of dollars more will be expended. Even at that the safeguards for the pedestrians will not be enough, and those who of studied the question believe that the time is coming when a special yearly appropriation will be made for this purpose. Until a decade or so ago this city had practically no traffic squad. Indeed when the idea was first breached the proposal met with more or less derision, and those who were appointed to this special work were referred to as members of “the beauty squad.” Baltimoreans have ceased to laugh at that squad. They know the work its members have done in saving aged men and women and children from death in those streets were “big business” and unmindful pleasure hustled and bustle along apparently careless of the rights of others. There are in the city today 39 members of the traffic squad, including three mounted policeman. Of sergeants Barry, and Zimmerman, with deputy Marshal house as the directing head. These men are stationed at all of the principal traffic corners downtown or at what some call the “automobile death traps”. These “traps” are at North and Charles streets, St. Paul and Chase streets and St. Paul Street and Mount Royal Avenue. These patrolman work from 7 o’clock in the morning until 7 o’clock at night. One half of the squad works on Saturday night from seven to 11 o’clock. The officers are not kept on duty on Sundays, except the one man who was stationed at Charles Street and North Avenue. This assignment is taken in turn, which means that each member of the squad has to work approximately one Sunday in every 39.

Many Warning Signs

More policeman for this work are needed and needed badly, officials say, but as there is no money appropriated the next best step is taken. Signs have been printed warning automobiles and others what they must do in order to conform to the traffic laws. Signs are fixed at dangerous places where it is impossible, because of lack of numbers, to station a patrolman. The signs cost eight dollars apiece, but they last many years. The patrolman must be paid $20 a week. Therefore, the signs are much more economical, though perhaps not so powerful in the way of restraint as the policeman. To further the “safety first” Crusade, the officials of the United railways have placed posters in the trolley cars requesting passengers not only to be careful while getting on or off the cars, but also warning them of the need of being watchful while crossing or walking in the street. The automobile club of Marilyn now keeps on the streets and automobile caring large signs on its side warning pedestrians of the necessity of watching out for automobiles and other vehicles. This is sent out the only through the city, the automobile thus constituting a running lesson of advice.

Moving – Picture Lessons

Deputy Marshal House, who is intensely interested in the “safety first” movement, is greatly pleased with the results that have followed one method of campaigning in this matter. There are 200 moving picture houses in Baltimore. In these houses at least once a week warnings tell of the dangers that are to be met with in the city from moving vehicles. They urge the readers to “stop, look and listen” before attempting to cross a street. They tell children of the dangers of stealing rides on the back a wagons, cars, etc. And these lessons produce an impression. The police are always on the lookout to detect those who violate the traffic laws. In stables all over town the traffic rules are posted. Thousands of little pamphlets, published at the city’s expense, containing the traffic rules and the penalties for violating them have been issued to chauffeurs, automobile owners and drivers. In the case of minor violations of the law by drivers of wagons, the rule that is generally followed is to take the name of the driver, if it is his first defense, and the name of his employer. The employer is then notified that his employee as disregarded the law and he is asked to advise his men not to repeat the offense. If the offense is committed again the violators arrested and fined.

To “Park” Vehicles

Deputy Marshal House is striving to get the owners of the various business houses and big office buildings interested in a new plan of his. He wants them to purchase signs, to be used in front of their buildings, telling automobile list and drivers to “park” their vehicles within certain lines to be marked off in front of the buildings. This is to keep the entrances to the buildings clear. There is one good thing that the deputy marshal believes will result from such a plan, and that is the expediting of the collection of the males. Because of the congestion in front of mailboxes the post office employees have often been delayed a minute or more a box in the taking up of such mail. This means lost time and inconvenience to the businessmen and others in getting their mail. The popularity of roller-skating brought about by the increase of smooth payments has given a new problem for the police to solve. Regulations had to be made and enforced, giving the children the right to use certain streets at certain hours for their fun. Some of the too – fond skaters had to be protected against automobiles and vice versa automobile us had to be protected against heedless skaters.

May Restore the Whistles

In the downtown section the traffic police for a long time he used the whistle system in the directing of traffic. One blow of the whistle meant the movement of traffic North and South; two blasts met the movement of traffic East and West. This system was discontinued, traffic being direct it now by the waiving of the hand. Part of the present system, according to Deputy Marshal House, has proved unsatisfactory and he has brought before the board of police commissioners a proposal to bring back the whistles again. It is said that many drivers, especially Negroes, who sometimes drive along half asleep, fail to notice the wave of the officer’s hand, and much confusion has resulted. The sharp whistle keeps a man awake and alert, and wakes up the sleeping or the stupid. There are f new traffic problems arising every day as the city grows. It is a big thing, the protection of the people – a job well worth what it costs. Over in Northeast Baltimore and down in the crowded sections of East Baltimore, hundreds of people have been injured more or less seriously, and some have lost their lives because the streets were not better guarded. Especially is where need for the protection of children and elderly persons, and down there, where they never have had any officers to look after pedestrians and hold teams and motorcars in check, traffic police are needed. It’s a big problem, one that Baltimore has handled pretty well, with its limited force, in the past few years, but it’s planning to manage by a better and more comprehensive system in the future.

1986 Barry Wood checks tail rotor

On this day in Baltimore Police History 1998 we lost our brother Flight Officer Barry Winston Wood to a flight accident based on the following:

All too often police officers face life of death situations alone. During a typical tour of duty, and they run after dangerous criminals, confront armed people in the dark, deserted alleys, and pray for fellow officers to arrive during those difficult moments. Police officers claimed the Arching Angel Michael as their patron saint and in Baltimore the sound of the beating blades of a helicopter they call Foxtrot represents the closest manifestation to a guardian angel, an unequaled source of comfort as it tracks criminals from the sky.

When an officer needed a reliable protector, Flight Officer Barry Wood always did his utmost to provide that assistance. That the beam of his powerful searchlight brought daylight into darkness. His soothing voice, hallmark of the fox trot crew, removed allayed the fears of officers on foot. As flight officer wood patrol the skies over this city, he never took lightly the duty of watching over the neighborhood below as his aircraft, but he also knew that he and his crew had a still higher mission: to safeguard the city’s protectors.

On 4 November 1998 as Baltimore mourned the loss of Officer Harold Carey and hundreds of highly polished police cars formed a long procession that would lay him to rest, Barry Wood took to the skies over Pratt Street to answer another call for help. Minutes later, trainees directing traffic listened in disbelief as their radios crackled:

“Signal 13, a Signal 13, 1050 a RED, Foxtrot has Gone Down.” The wail of sirens pierced the crisp morning air, and officers raced to help, what had begun as a routine for call for assistance over Pratt Street ended with engine failure and a catastrophe. An attempt to land his aircraft with a maneuver called “auto-rotation”, Barry tried to touch down in the B&O Railroad Museum Parking Lot. Foxtrots tail rotor apparently struck either a power line, or a tree which changed the altitude helicopter and drove it into the ground, killing one of Baltimore’s finest. Though severely injured, Barry’s partner and aerial observer Mark Keller would survive the crash, most credit Barry with Mark’s survival, I am sure Mark leads the group of those that praise Barry in saving his life.

When the time came to lay Barry to rest, helicopters from many different agencies flew overhead in tribute as an officer below saluted his flag draped coffin. In the background, a speaker broadcast the dispatcher’s last call for him, “KGA to Foxtrot - KGA to Foxtrot - Foxtrot 10-5 not acknowledging.” The loss of flight officer wood profoundly affected every officer in the Baltimore Police Department because the Foxtrot fleet remained grounded during the extensive follow-up investigation, leaving Baltimore City’s Police Officers to face danger zone until a new fleet of aircraft arrived and resume the role of guardian angels.

As his brothers and sisters of the Baltimore Police Department we will not let him be forgotten, His service Honored the City of Baltimore, and the Baltimore Police Department may he rest in peace, and may God bless him.

Flight Officer Barry Wood was killed in a helicopter crash. Flight Officer Wood experienced a catastrophic engine failure while answering a call for service over Pratt Street. Because of this mechanical failure, Flight Officer Wood attempted to land the aircraft with a technique called auto-rotation. It is speculated that Flight Officer Wood was attempting to touch down in the B & O Railroad parking lot when his tail rotor struck either power lines or a tree. This collision with a fixed object created a change in attitude driving the aircraft into the ground. Flight Officer Barry Wood’s partner, Aerial Observer Mark Keller survived the crash.

January 31, 1986 Flight Officer Barry Wood was in command of the "Foxtrot" helicopter on routine patrol over the city and developed a mechanical problem with the airship. His vast knowledge of helicopters and in the interest of the safety of his observer and those on the ground below, he searched for the closest area to land. Looking down he saw a clear spot on Frankford Ave between Moriva Park Primary and the Frankford Elementary Schools. He double checked the area for any persons on the ground and for any hazards that could affect the landing. He notified the Communications Division about the need to bring the helicopter down (10-50 Red). Communications Division immediately notified ground units to respond and secure the area along with notifications to the Fire Department to be on scene if needed. Officer Wood brought the helicopter down safely without any injuries or damage to the helicopter. He remained a true hero as not only did he concern himself more with those on the ground and the observer with him, he also kept the one thing on his mind that was the only reason he did anything, his wife, he was concerned with getting home to her, and he did, the next he was back in the air, because nothing scared him away from fulfilling the oath he made to protect the citizens on Baltimore and nothing could keep him out of the air or from doing his job. 

On this day in 1998, twelve years later, he developed another mechanical problem this one more severe than the last, one of the department's helicopter took his life. As in the earlier incident, using his experience and training he tried to bring the airship down without any injury to the persons on the ground or to his observer. He was able to bring the helicopter down on a clear lot, positioning the helicopter to land with impact on his side so as not to injure the observer too severely. The observer sustained some major injuries, possible lifelong injuries, but not life threatening injuries, Barry did all he could to see to that. So on this day 15 years ago today, we in the Baltimore Police department lost one of our very best.

The following are just a few of the reports from the Sun papers

Police pilot gets hero's farewell; Officer Barry Wood 2nd member of force to die in 5 days
An article Nov. 11 about the funeral of Officer Barry W. Wood, who was killed in a helicopter crash at the B&O Railroad Museum, reported that in 1970 during the Vietnam War, Wood had declared safe a helicopter that later crashed and killed two of his friends. In fact, Woods had declared the helicopter unsafe.
Vietnam veteran Wood joined police force to fly; Officers remember fallen colleague
Barry W. Wood didn't join the Baltimore Police Department to cruise city streets. He joined to fly over them. Coming straight from the battlefields of Vietnam, the then 23- year-old came to Baltimore less than a month after he was honorably discharged from the Army in 1971 -- part of a bold experiment for building a police helicopter unit. "When we started, we said, `Why not get the best pilots available?' " said Frederick Police Chief Regis Raffensberger, who started the city chopper unit known as "Foxtrot" and made Wood one of his first hires.

Crash kills pilot of city police helicopter; Second officer aboard seriously injured as unit chased stolen car
A Baltimore police officer was killed and his partner was seriously injured yesterday when their helicopter crashed at the B&O Railroad Museum after nearly clipping the dome of the historic roundhouse while searching for a stolen car. The pilot, Barry W. Wood, 50, is the second city officer to die in five days. The crash occurred as the funeral for Harold J. Carey ended, sending officers dressed for a burial racing from a cemetery to the wreckage on West Pratt Street. Wood, a 27-year veteran who flew a helicopter during the Vietnam War, was rushed to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Dr. Thomas M. Scalea, chief of trauma surgery, said Wood's heart and lungs had stopped, but doctors were able to resuscitate him.
Funeral planned for police pilot who died in crash
A section of Harford Road will be closed from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow for the funeral of Flight Officer Barry W. Wood, a helicopter pilot who died when his aircraft crashed Wednesday, a Baltimore Police Department spokeswoman said yesterday.

Further reports said:

November 4,1998 a Baltimore Police helicopter piloted by Flight Officer Barry W. Wood experienced mechanical problems while chasing down a car thief, and crashed into the parking lot at the B&O Railroad Museum on West Pratt St. According to witnesses, a loud bang came from the helicopter and plumes of smoke were seen pouring out the back. Remaining calm and courageous until the end, Officer Wood dispatched a distress signal over his radio, declaring "10-50 RED, 10-50 RED" which indicates that a crash is imminent. Then, the former Vietnam War Pilot, did all he could to maneuver his aircraft away from people on the ground. There were more than 60 people inside the museum at the time of the crash. A ten year old boy playing near the accident site said, “It was coming down with smoke. When I saw it hit the gate, I ran because I was so scared." Fortunately no one on the ground was hurt. On the way down, the helicopter struck a light pole and then crashed through an iron fence in the museum parking lot before coming to a rest on its side. The cockpit was destroyed. The two Officers were immediately removed from the helicopter and rushed to Shock Trauma Center. Flight Officer Wood, 50, made it into surgery, but was pronounced dead at 5 p.m., less than three hours after the accident. Officer Keller, 43, suffered a number of serious injuries, including a broken elbow and a spinal fracture, but survived the accident. At the funeral Barry was compared to "David, the Warrior," a Biblical figure who was renowned for the love, compassion and strength of character he exemplified. Officer Wood's wife of 28 years, Martha, spoke eloquently and powerfully at the funeral. She praised her husband as a great planner and excellent provider, and talked about the special relationship they had. "No one on earth has ever experienced the love that Barry and I shared. He was a loving, caring man who touched everyone that he came in contact with" Officer Keller expressed great admiration for his partner of more than a year and a half when he said, "Barry laid down his life for a friend. Our family will always love him and so will I." Officer Barry Wood's Service, Dedication to Duty, and Compassion Honored the City of Baltimore and the Police Department


A Man Who Loved To Fly
 If your thoughts go to him and they go sad
Just remember this,
He has no barriers anymore,
For now the clouds aren’t closed doors.
He has no limits
It does not matter how high he flies.
The Good Lord has set him free.
And remember this, if it is a shooting star you see,
Think of him and you will know
That his heart and soul will never die,
For he now lives in the sky,
What a wondrous thing for a man who loved to fly.

What follows is a Sun Paper Article on these events

As family, friends mourn, police seek 2nd suspect in officer's death

Vigil held at liquor store where Winder was killed

July 05, 2004|By Ryan Davis | Ryan Davis,SUN STAFF

Baltimore police were searching yesterday for the man they believe fired some - if not all - of the bullets that killed a Southwestern District officer Saturday night while he was patrolling the neighborhood that was his lifelong home.

Immediately after the shooting in the Edmondson Village area, another man was arrested by an officer who fired at him and cornered him inside a nearby liquor store. Jermaine Gaines, 31, was charged yesterday with first-degree murder and handgun offenses in the death of 36- year-old Officer Brian D. Winder, police said.

Gaines has told detectives that the man who fled fired the shots that hit Winder, according to police. They obtained an arrest warrant yesterday naming the second suspect as Charles Bennett, 33, of the 3900 block of Flowerton Road in Edmondson Village.

Winder, a 10-year veteran of the department, was hit by three shots - including one in the left chest, just above his bulletproof vest, police said. He was pronounced dead at Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where officers and his family gathered to grieve early yesterday.

"We lost a member of our family," Police Commissioner Kevin P. Clark said during a news conference yesterday afternoon. "It cuts deep."

The commissioner also used the news conference to lash out at the city's criminal justice system. Both Bennett and Gaines have been arrested several times and convicted of felonies, he said.

"Why are these people out on the street?" Clark asked repeatedly, and called the assailants "terrorists."

Domestic incident

The events that led to the fatal encounter began at 8:41 p.m. with a 911 call about a domestic incident from a West Baltimore woman who said she wanted a man out of her house, police said.

When Winder arrived at 8:48 p.m., police said, the woman told him that the man she had called about was Jermaine Gaines. She described the direction he went and said that he was armed, police said.

Winder, searching the area, spotted two men who matched Gaines' description about 9 p.m. outside G&G Village Liquors, a brick- and metal-front store in the 4600 block of Edmondson Ave., Clark said.

Winder called out to the men, who then entered the liquor store - and were cornered in its roughly 100-square-foot area where customers place orders through a security barrier.

As the men entered, Winder made a radio call requesting a back-up officer, police said. Like nearly all Baltimore police officers, he patrols alone in his car.

Within a minute after making the call, Winder entered the store and was shot three times: in the chest and in the legs. He never fired his gun, police said.

"He was clearly ambushed," Clark said.

The liquor store owners have said they heard four or five shots, and the first one sounded much louder than the others - suggesting that the first shot may have been fired inside, and the others as the two suspects were leaving. But police said most of the shooting occurred inside the store.

Winder called on his radio to report shots had been fired, left the store and collapsed on the pavement outside, police said.

Just as the shooting was ending, Officer Ed Lane arrived and fired at the two men. Gaines ran inside the store, unhurt, police said, while the other man ran away. It was unknown yesterday whether the other suspect was wounded.

Police recovered a 9 mm handgun inside the store, they said yesterday.

The description of events provided yesterday by police differed from the initial account provided to the media Saturday night.

Yesterday, yellow roses rested on the broken pavement where weeds grow from the cracks alongside Edmondson Avenue. Next to the roses were a discarded medical face mask and a splotch of dried blood.

George McKnight approached the store shortly after noon. He was sobbing.

"I just wanted to see where they killed my brother-in-law," said the 49-year-old neighborhood resident.

Winder, a 1985 graduate of Carver High School, joined the police force in 1994 and spent most of his career patrolling the streets in the Southwestern District, which includes the Edmondson Village area where he was raised. He served a brief stint in the department's internal affairs unit, returning to his home district in June 2003.

McKnight said he told his brother-in-law that internal affairs seemed like a good job.

"I need to be on the street," Winder responded, according to McKnight.

"He wanted to make a positive impression on the young people and get these drug dealers off the corner," McKnight added.

Winder was married and had two sons, Corey Winder, 15, and Brandon Winder, 7, and a 24-year-old stepdaughter, police said. The names of his wife and stepdaughter were not available.

Seven others killed

He was the first Baltimore officer killed in connection with his police work since November 2002, when Thomas G. Newman, a 12-year veteran, was shot while off duty at a Southeast Baltimore tavern. His killing was apparently in retaliation for having testified against two men who shot him in an attack the previous year.

Six other city officers have been killed in the line of duty since 2000. Officer Crystal D. Sheffield, the first female officer killed on the force, was fatally injured in a car crash in August 2002 while responding to a call to help a colleague. In 2001, a police officer was shot to death; and in 2000, four officers were killed in three separate collisions involving police cruisers.

The commissioner said Winder was shot because police officers are the only people criminals fear. "They don't worry about what happens to them after they get arrested," Clark said.

Bennett has been arrested 12 times, according to a criminal record obtained from police. The charges, which date to 1987, include handgun and drug offenses. He was convicted in 1994 of armed robbery and received a 15-year sentence with all but eight years suspended, police said. Bennett was paroled before serving his full sentence.

Less than five years after the crime, he was arrested on another charge, police said.

Clark said yesterday that Bennett is considered "armed and dangerous."

Gaines, of the 800 block of N. Monroe St., has been arrested at least four times, according to police. Three times in the past 12 years he has been convicted of drug charges, they said.

"I just don't understand what's wrong with these people," McKnight said yesterday, adding that Winder "was just out here to try to help people."

`Tremendous void'

Yesterday evening, police barred traffic from the eastbound lanes of Edmondson Avenue between Swann Avenue and Old Frederick Road as Winder's colleagues held a candlelight vigil at the site of the shooting.

"This is our opportunity to be the kind of officer that Brian was," said Maj. Deborah Owens, commander of the Southwestern District. "He would want us to go on."

The vigil lasted about an hour, and dozens of Winder's colleagues turned out to remember him. They praised him as a compassionate officer who played the role of stern disciplinarian and caring social worker.

"That's a special combination," said Northwestern District Deputy Maj. Mary Eilerman, who had worked with Winder at Southwestern. "His loss leaves us with a tremendous void. He always took exceptional steps to show the compassion he had. He took extra time to listen to people and get to know them."

Officer Tomecha Johnson, who was one of the first to arrive at the shooting scene Saturday, sobbed as she begged fellow officers to find Winder's killer.

"I held him in my arms," she said of Winder. "Please catch [the killer]. He has to be brought to justice. Please just catch him. That's all I want."

GLEN ARM, Md. - An off-duty Baltimore City police detective was killed in a single-car accident early Wednesday in Baltimore County.

According to Baltimore County police, the accident occurred around 1:50 a.m. at Glen Arm Road just north of Long Green Pike in Glen Arm. Police said a 2007 Jeep Wrangler driven by  Det. Shane Volk, 32, of Bel Air, was traveling northbound on Glen Arm Road.

The vehicle left the roadway, struck an embankment and then struck two mailboxes, according to a Baltimore County police news release. The driver was ejected. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The cause remains under investigation, and crash investigators have not yet determined if speed or alcohol were contributing factors, police said.

"This is tremendous loss to our police family.  Detective Volk was a well-liked, hard-working officer with a bright future both professionally and personally," said Baltimore  Police Commissioner Anthony Batts in a statement.  "This is particularly difficult because of the deep ties the Volk family has with the Baltimore Police - his father is a retired sergeant and his mother works with us in communications. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to the Volk's as we come together to support our extended family during this time of grief."

Volk, who was stationed in the Southern District, joined the department in September 2008. He served eight years as a Marine prior to joining the department  and served as a patrol member in the Eastern District and VCIS before becoming a detective last November.

"This is a heartbreaking tragedy for Detective Volk's family, for the members of the Baltimore Police Department, and for our city. Detective Volk was a dedicated officer who worked hard to protect and serve Baltimore's residents in the Southern District," said Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with Detective Volk's family, friends, and coworkers, who are suffering a terrible loss. I ask that we join together to support his family during this difficult time."

Volk is survived by his wife and one child. Police also confirmed that Volk's wife was also pregnant with the couple's second child.

An off-duty Baltimore police detective from Bel Air was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Glen Arm early Wednesday, according to Baltimore County police.

Shane Volk, 32, who served in the U.S. Marines for eight years before joining the city police force in 2008, was northbound in a 2007 Jeep Wrangler on Glen Arm Road just north of Long Green Pike about 1:50 a.m. when his vehicle "left the roadway, struck an embankment, and then struck two mailboxes," county police said.


Volk was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene, county police said.

In a statement, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said Volk, who served in the city's southern district, will be missed in the department, where his family has deep ties.

Volk's father is a retired sergeant, and his mother works in the department's communications office. Volk had served as a patrol officer in the eastern district and on the department's violent crime unit before becoming a detective in November. His goal, according to the Fraternal Order of Police, was to become a homicide detective.

"This is tremendous loss to our police family. Detective Volk was a well-liked, hardworking officer with a bright future both professionally and personally," Batts said. The department will "come together to support our extended family during this time of grief."

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake offered condolences in a statement, calling Volk a "dedicated officer who worked hard to protect and serve Baltimore's residents" and his death a "heartbreaking tragedy."

Baltimore police said Volk is also survived by his wife and one child.

Baltimore County police said the cause of the crash is under investigation.

On this day in Baltimore Police History 13 January 1947, we lost our brother Police Officer Fred R. Unger to gunfire based on the following:

January 13th 1947 was much like it has been here lately; the high was 37.9F with a low in the area of 27F there was a heavy fog with rain, and drizzle throughout the week almost as it has been this year 2014. Crime back then was normal Baltimore crime; they had their burglars, their drug dealers, their thieves and their stick up men. On this particular day there was a punk by the name of Milford E. Davis. Milford found his niche in the crime world sticking up cab drivers and taking their hard earned cash, on this night he had committed one such hold up already from a cab driver on the corner of Saratoga St. near Gay St. After that stick-up, he made his way up to, and over to, the Central District. He was nearing the 900 Blk. of Brevard Alley where he was on the hunt for another cab to hit. By now his description was given to all police in the area, and two of Central’s long time partners, Officer George Pfaff, and Fred Unger were on a different hunt, instead of looking for someone to steal from, they were on the lookout for someone about to rob a cab, and it wouldn’t take long for Fred to spot a potential suspect, a fellow matching the description given out earlier, pointing the suspect out to his partner, Officer Unger would call out to the suspect asking him, “Hey! Hey, you there! What are you running from?” and the suspect looking over points to his chest as if to ask if they were talking to him, Unger confirms they were, and asked him to come to their vehicle, out of breath the suspect couldn’t say much, but remained calm throughout their interaction, he strolled over to their car, calm and collected as he was catching his breath… he acted as if he had nothing to hide, not a worry in the world, his calmness took the officers off their normal guard. They thought perhaps this is not the right guy; still they would talk to him, as he may have seen something, he may have some information to lead them in the right direction.

The suspect continued walking calmly to their car, eventually he would be alongside the car, as he was coming in from a direction in front of their car he would pass the officers, (still seated in their car), then turn and come up behind the officer from a different angle, before a single question could be asked of him, his attitude would change, he went from calm, cool, and collected, into rage, drawing his .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol from his waist band, he would fire several shots into the car, striking Officer Unger several times.

Officer Pfaff quickly bailed from the car, taking a safe vantage point while drawing his weapon, then as he came up to find his target, he saw the suspect was running away, Pfaff chased the suspect past the east side of the Armory into an alley beside a warehouse near Dolphin St. Then he was gone, Pfaff lost the visual he had on the suspect when they were someplace near Dolphin Street and Linden Green. He was being fired on by Davis and had a chance to take a shot back, but looked toward the background and saw the suspect was running toward a group of people, he feared had he missed it could have led to one or more of them being shot. So he did the next best thing, he armed himself with a description and went back to his vehicle to check on his partner, and call in that description so the other officers in the area could look for him.

Once back to his car he found his partner, Officer Frederick R. Unger had been struck in the head, the face, and several times in his upper body… Pfaff somewhat in shock quickly called for medical attention, then giving the description of the suspect, with warnings of his danger and a direction of travel. Now armed with a clothing description that direction of travel, it wouldn’t be long when another set of Central District best known partners, Officers Joseph Levin, and John Griffin were on his trail. They were at the corner Morris Alley and Dolphin Street, when they met with the same gunman and the same weapon that fatally wounded their friend and brother patrolman Unger. Officers Levin and Griffin were ready for what might be coming, they called out to the suspect, who did what he knew best, he spun, drew and fired on the officers; who in turn did what they knew, they shot him. They recovered the gun he used to kill Officer Unger, as well as the money stolen in the earlier cab robbery.

Officer Unger died that night trying to make Baltimore a safer place, for all of us. Officer’s Levin, and Griffin fired their guns and killed a man, they did this while bullets were being fired in their direction and from the gun of a guy that didn’t care who he hurt, he didn’t care about his backdrop, which brings us to Officer Pfaff who refused to shoot at a fleeing felon, while he himself was being fired on, so that he wouldn’t accidently shoot someone in the background, he put public safety ahead of his own safety. These are the brave men of the Baltimore Police department.

Officer Unger was married and the father of 2 daughters, Carol (eight) and Gail Patricia (eighteen months). Officer Fred R. Unger was 38 years of age and a 3 year veteran of the force.

We his brothers and sisters of the Baltimore Police department will not let him be forgotten, as we take this time to remember him and thank him for his service and sacrifice.
