OCEAN CITY, MD – The Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) has released their 2018 Annual Report, highlighting a fourth consecutive year of historic low crime rates.
In 2018, the OCPD experienced a 22 percent decrease in serious crime in comparison to the previous five years, and a 15 percent decrease from 2017. Most notably, the report shows that there was a 40 percent decrease in rapes and a 36 percent decrease in robberies. Additionally, citizen-initiated calls for service decreased by over 1,300 calls – an indicator that officers were proactive and addressed issues before citizens took notice.
“After achieving yet another year of historic lows in crime, the officers and staff members that make up the Ocean City Police Department continue to exceed my expectations,” commented Chief Ross Buzzuro. “The facts and figures within this report are a testament to their hard work and dedication to keeping this town and its citizens safe.”
In addition to crime and enforcement statistics, the Annual Report highlights the OCPD’s focus on community engagement. This includes efforts to join other agencies in homeless outreach and new community events, such as Cones with Cops and the Mounted Unit Open House. Accomplishments of each of the three divisions of the OCPD are also emphasized in the report.

Liars! Rape is now counted as "Ruff Sex" and theft is called "Alternative shopping" drug use is "Self medicating". Crime is very high in OC, but they lie to keep stupid tourists coming!
That's becasue the refused to have that car show this year, and they didn't write tickets and lock people up...
They all have very sharp pencils. They think the average people are stupid enough to believe this crap. Only ones that I know that believe it are the liberal democrats and that is because they don’t have a brain.
Would this Chief be willing to have there results audited? I frankly do not believe any of it. They are just trying to make themselves look good and get a pay raise every year.
They ain’t got nuffin on da 'Bury.
They ben taken lessons from that Crisfield chief. All time low every year.
Crisfield Chief? How about Salisbury Chief? There is definitely no lower crime……..it’s that “New Math” calculation that they use!
In the cover letter: “Additionally, citizen-initiated calls for service decreased by over 1,300 calls – an indicator that officers were proactive and addressed issues before citizens took notice.”
In the pdf: “In 2018, the number of officer calls for service increased by over 6,000 calls – another example of officers being proactive and dedicated to duty.”
This is babbling Bullsh!t by this idiot they hired as the Chief of Police.
We are living in the days when political hacks will say anything and expect people to believe it. Unfortunately, some people do believe it. These chiefs see what others are lying about with no consequences and must say to themselves, “I can lie and get away with it also”.
That is so stupid 3:31
