MARYLAND STATE POLICE PRESS RELEASE

The sweep netted the following arrests:

*Outstanding Warrants:

Troopers will be continuing in their efforts to help clean up Wicomico County in the very near future. Sweeps will be conducted regularly in an effort to arrest criminal and traffic violators. Citizens with outstanding warrants are encouraged to turn themselves into law enforcement. Citizens are also encouraged not to drink and drive. The Maryland State Police have zero tolerance for alcohol and drug violators. The Maryland State Police in Salisbury are committed to making Wicomico County a safer place to live and work.

One Trooper East/ One Trooper West.

Keep "Your" Troopers Safe !!!

Wicomico County needs to know that on some mid-night shifts there are two troopers for the entire county. NOT SAFE. Thugs travel in groups. The State of Maryland needs to support these men and women that serve so couragously.

To the Barrack Command Staff do not look to target one of your own for this post. I do not work for you. Commen sense is just that commmon sense. That is the same number of Troopers you had on the road at night in 1989. I hear you just put two more troopers in special investigations. Maybe they should have been assigned to Mids. Keep up that traffic "Goal".
Great morale booster as well.

This is Saturday. Which Saturday night are you referring to here? Did you mean Friday night?

Funny, I can remember back in the late 60s, as a fledging LEO with the then very inept, Wicomico County Sheriff's Dept, I worked night patrol on weekends and there was on many occasions only 1 trooper in the County and there were times he would have to respond to a situation in Somerset Co. Times have not changed much with the exception of the fact that when Hunter Nelms was appointed Sheriff the department developed into the fine Law Enforcement agency that it is now

Good point! This is exactly why I put up ALL Press Releases the way they're delivered.

Hope MSP monitors this site. The
Colonel needs to stand up for his men/women and get them the pay and equipment that they not only need but deserve.

It is a shame that "Maryland's Finest" can find better pay in some county agencies.

Our elected officials should be embarrassed by their lack of revenue support for the agency while at the same time complaining about the rise in crime.

Keep up the great work Joe. I heard Troopers are not allowed to post comments on your site. These men and women do great work. I think they dersve better from those riding the desk. We all know the wheel needs to be greased, but some of this crap is going to get someone hurt. Keep your chins up and heads low. A new Governor and Col. would not hurt a thing.

MMMM I hate to see all the anonymous's with their posts. I can understand in some cases why it is necessary but otherwise state your name I was the 1:45 post and it came as anonymous but was not supposed to be so. Thanks Joe. Keep up the good work.
