The beaches – people were saying it looked like July on the beaches this weekend,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin.

Ocean City Fire Department Chief Richard Bowers says the motto for this week is to keep your feet in the sand until a lifeguard is in the stand. “You may think you’re a good swimmer, but the ocean has a mind of its own,” said Chief Bowers.

Sen. Van Hollen says in instances like a mental health crisis a trained social or mental and behavioral health worker would be better suited. He adds that working with community organizations will only help serve people better. “The idea is to be partnering with organizations and people who are directly in the neighborhoods. Otherwise, it’s another outside group that doesn’t necessarily understand the situation,” sai
