47abc April 26, 2021 DELMAR, Del. – A large concern is circulating in Delmar regarding funding for police. Corporal Keith Heacook was the only officer who was able to respond to a call on Sunday morning which resulted in life-threatening injuries. Although it’s not uncommon for smaller municipalities to only have one officer on duty, the addition of another officer or even quicker back up was needed in the situation, according to officials. Some even say, the outcome of this fight could have been very different if other officers had been there. “This is what happens when you’re allowed to have single officer shifts, and we should never be in this situation,” says former mayor of Delmar, Maryland and current representative, Carl Anderton.
