Before Sheriff Mike Lewis came on board with the Wicomico County Sheriffs Department he spent years holding seminars around the Country teaching other Officers techniques they had never seen before. Mike was known as an expert in finding hidden compartments in vehicles using major highways to transport drugs. His record for doing so has awarded him the Top Expert in the Country for such and while he was with the State Police he started training Officers in drug interdiction.
As I know many of you are aware of this special talent he has but I wanted to express a couple of recent stories/events in which Sheriff Mike Lewis has been involved in and how it benefits Wicomico County.
Training Seminars are held all across America, similar to Fire Protection Seminars and so forth. Recently, the WCSO Staff attended two special Seminars, one in Media, PA and the other in Denton, MD.
The one in Media, PA was held by the Mid Atlantic Tactical Officers Association and was a 3 day Seminar. The Wicomico County Sheriffs Emergency Tactical Response Team attended which involved 10 Officers from the WCSO. Mike Lewis taught a 1 day Seminar at this event, allowing ALL 10 of their Officers to attend at NO COST! Sheriff Lewis also negotiated a full One Year Membership for each Officer into this elite group of Nation Wide Special Officers.
The second Seminar held in Denton, MD was a 5 Day Course for K-9 Handlers. 7 Wicomico County Deputies attended this special event again, NO COST! Sheriff Lewis spoke for 1/2 of a day in exchange to waive all fees for Wicomico County for all Officers. Oh, Dogs too! LOL
The morale this kind of status brings to Wicomico County brings a level of prestige and honor to all Sheriffs Deputies because YOU the Taxpayers of Wicomico County overwhelmingly chose Mike Lewis to lead the Sheriffs Department, yet many do not know the Bonus Package this guy actually delivers.
To send Officers out of Town for days at a time. Hotel fees, food, travel and then the actual cost of attending the seminars is a savings like this County has never experienced before.
The end result is the rest of America talking about Sheriff Mike Lewis and his entire Specially Trained Staff as being leaders in drug interdiction like never seen anywhere else before.
The MATOA wants to Co Sponsor with the WCSO a special Seminar in Wicomico County in the near future. This will now allow ALL other local Law Enforcement Officers to take advantage of this very prestigious organization to deliver even more expertise and opportunities for Officer who wouldn't normally be afforded such an opportunity. Ocean City, Berlin, Worcester County Sheriffs Department, Salisbury Police Department, the Maryland State Police and the list goes on and on. All of this will be available because our very own Expert Mike Lewis wants to GIVE BACK to his Brothers & Sisters and more importantly, Wicomico County.
I said it in the past and I'll repeat it again. Wicomico County has been blessed with a once in a life time opportunity with this man. We need more like him and for what it's worth, I believe working under someone as special as this man is, we're going to get a few more of him down the road.
Thanks Mike!

Could not say iy better myself. What an awesome man and oppurtunity this county has with him leading the Sheriff's Office. I could not be more proud. Hopefully we can ride this wave as long as Mike will have us.
This is the kind of leadership the SPD used to have. Now it's all suit and tie and a guy who thinks he's all that.
For once, I agree with you! Great article. Mike Lewis is a dynamite leader and cop. I certainly feel saver knowing that Mike is "in charge!"
I think it is time for a County wide police force and time to turn the SPD over to the County. There is no need in having 6 police agencies in this county. I united police force is all we need. Why is the city duplicating services that the county provides.
Thanks go out to the Wicomico County Sheriffs Office for making the streets of Salisbury safer.
Oops! Safer! Lol. Sorry bout that!
Now all they need to do is get someone as honorable and trustworthy in Fruitland. The "CHIEFY" there needs to retire and let the real men step up to the plate and run Fruitland. And NOT the NEW Assit. chief B**** that came from SPD.
Hey,
Aren't you that ignorant jerk who lives in Fruitland and has like 200 cats and are also illegally running a business out of your home?

Thank you for highlighting a bright spot that Wicomico County can be very proud of! I read this blog everyday and you won't find any foul language or insults from me!
Thank You for bringing the subject back to where it belongs.
We sure are blessed to have a real man as our Sheriff and I send my appreciation to Mike Lewis for all that he is doing. We need to have him run the Police for the entire County (including Salisbury). Great that he is being recognized for his expertice nationally! But, I hope he won't be taken away from us for some bigger police job. This man is worth his weight in gold!

What are the 6 police agencies in wicomico county that you speak of?
I suspect they mean:
WCSO
SPD
DPD
FPD
SSU Campus Police
MSP
Maryland State Police, Salisbury Police, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, Delmar Police & Fruitland Police.
That sounds great!!!!!! It would be nice, he's great and a great leader, and yes what all the other agencies need.
Yes, thank you for bringing the subject at hand back at hand. Where'd all the above negative comments come from? The Sheriff and his department are doing a great job and the County (in which I live and work) appreciate it! Long live truth and justice!
Joe, katlady here, sorry to you and everyone else who seen my posts,(Im just very frustrated) all i did was come on here and compliment Lewis and the job he was doing, and speak my mind, and i get bashed. But one thing WCSD is all over Fruitland (and i mean that in a good way)
That's just plain smart and downright good common sense for Mike to make a deal like that, the man is a thinker and saves the taxpayers some money.
You can also add to that list of enforcement agencies the FBI and Homeland Security are also here in Salisbury.
Anonymous at 1214: Streets of Salisbury? Church? Delaware? Smith? I don't think so. Mike Lewis is a great officer. He makes the mediocre look good. Webster makes the great look mediocre.
