21-Year BCPD Vet Promoted To Precinct 8 Commander

BALTIMORE COUNTY - Longtime Baltimore County police officer Kieth Fruhling has been promoted to commander of Precinct 8.

The 21-year BCPD veteran will serve the citizens of Parkville and surrounding municipalities in the 21234 zip code: Overlea, Hampton, Carney, and parts of Perry Hall. Fruhling will take over from former Precinct 8 Commander Brian Edwards, who assumed the position last year.

Fruhling has been prolific in his work with Baltimore County police. Throughout his tenure, he has served as a midnight officer on a patrol shift, worked as a patrol sergeant, was a K-9 unit commander, and was assigned to BCPD’s Hostage Negotiation Team. He has also worked in the Parkville precinct as a patrol officer for the past six years.

Police work seems to run in the Fruhling family. Kieth’s brother, Capt. Michael Fruhling is the current commander for precinct 9 in nearby White Marsh.
