Howard police extend outreach

For Pfc. Holly Burnham, helping the senior citizens of Howard County feel safe is a mission.

And for Cpl. Alan Shaffer, finding a way for minority communities to develop a relationship with the Police Department has become his reason for going to work every day.

Burnham and Shaffer are liaison officers for the Howard County Police Department, which established the positions in November to meet the growing needs of two key segments of the public: seniors and minorities.

'The department recognized the need to evolve and change as the county grows,' said police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn.
