Speaking during a citizen meeting recently in Bonger Hill Community Hon. Harmon suggested to the Maryland County Police Commander Jacob Kumah the need to establish substation in Jacksonville Township so as to help reduce the situation.
For his part, Police Commander Jacob Kumah welcomed the suggestion and promised to provide maximum to curtail the criminals' rate in Jacksonville Township and across Maryland County.
