On Saturday May 7th members of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office along with many other Law Enforcement agencies from the eastern shore of Maryland, will travel to Camp E.S.P.A. in Eldorado Maryland to honor the sacrifices of officers who have died in the line of duty.
The camp which is owned and operated by the Eastern Shore Police Association. The camp helps to assure that many of the underprivileged and at risk children of the Eastern Shore have an opportunity to spend part of their summer learning new things, while at the same time having a good time.
The camp is home to the Eastern Shore Police Officer Memorial.
A ceremony will take place at approximately 1200 at the memorial.
The Worcester County Sheriff’s office has lost two Deputies in the line of duty. The first was William Outten shot and killed while trying to serve a warrant in 1759. The second was Brian Heller who was killed in a traffic crash while responding to assist a fellow Deputy who was dealing with a person who was exhibiting signs of a mental illness.
A new memorial will be unveiled at Camp E.S.P.A. honoring Law Enforcement K-9s that have perished while performing their law enforcement duties.
The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office lost K-9 Ike in 2014.
