FPD Chief Lando has drawn praise in the community

Jason Lando’s first year as the chief of the Frederick Police Department is drawing rave reviews. It looks as though the city has found a good one. Lando was hired by the city after he had served more than 20 years at the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. As News-Post reporter Mary Grace Keller wrote in her recent article on the chief’s first year, he has had a busy 12 months: A Fort Detrick gunman shot two coworkers before being killed. Two of Lando’s police officers were shot and wounded in the line of duty. Two other officers died of natural causes, sending the department into mourning.
