Chicks beat police command; Bealefeld to sing

Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III will make good on his bet for losing in the marathon relay on Saturday (pics on the police department's Facebook page). He lost to a team led by Sheryl Goldstein, the mayor's criminal justice director, and he'll sing karioke on 98 Rock on Tuesday at 8:40 a.m.

The commish's Baltimore Police Department Command Staff II team completed the relay in 4 hours, 15 minutes and 51 seconds. Goldstein's team, the Criminal Justice Chicks, easily won with 3 hours, 52 minutes and 31 seconds. Her team included Deputy Police Commissaioner Deborah Owens and two members of the criminal justice office, Jean Lewis and Erin Cunningham.

Sheryl has selected five songs and listeners will be able to vote on which one Bealefeld, who ran the last leg of the relay, has to sing. The list seems purposely chosen to rub in the fact an all-women's team beat out male cops.

The song list is: It;s Raining Men; YMCA; I'm Too Sexy; I am Woman; and Girl's Just Want to Have Fun.

Here are the official results posted on the BPD's Facebook page:

Monday afternoon,  I got word about another police team that participated -- from the Crime Lab. Running were Rana Santos, Jocelyn Carlson, Ken Jones and Jen Bresett (who is not working at the moment but came out for the team and department, and ran the hardest, uphill leg of the race). They finished in 4 hours, 58 minutes and 41 seconds.
