I'll Bet You Never Knew This Existed: Maryland Citizens Response Teams

The Maryland Citizens Response Team was born in early 2013 with a chance meeting of concerned and active patriots from Wicomico and Queen Anne Counties. These two groups began the journey that is now fast becoming a state wide network of men, women and families who are commited to the cause of liberty and the betterment of community and state.

Having already formulated many of the adopted standards, requirements and protocols the Wicomico County group which had named itself WCRT offered up the standards and the acronym CRT as a universal identifier for those groups who stand in solidarity and hold to the same standards. The Queen Anne County group who, offered up it's enthusiasm, recruiting ability and training resources, gladly accepted and the network had begun.

Members of these two groups had come from different backgrounds and acquired various expertises in their fields, all were willing to share with the collective group. Their purpose was to not only learn from each other, but rather to elevate the combined knowledge of everyone while offering their new skills to assist their community in times of need. Many things have happened for CRT since then and we have grown into a substantial network of individuals, communities and counties all while learning to work together as a team.

As the network has grown, the coverage for communities has expanded to multiple hubs of CRTs. As of mid-2015 there are solid groups in Queen Anne, Wicomico, Cecil, Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties, as well as efforts in Carroll, Frederick, Charles, and very soon Washington Counties.
