FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, applauded Baltimore’s New Psalmist Baptist Church for its efforts to renovate the Baltimore City Northwestern District Police Station on Reisterstown Road:

“I commend my pastor, Bishop Walter S. Thomas, and New Psalmist Baptist Church for their commitment to opening the front doors of a vital resource in Northwestern Baltimore,” Congressman Cummings said. “It is my hope that churches throughout Baltimore will find innovative ways to enable residents to work in partnership with the Baltimore Police Department to help keep their neighborhoods safe.”
