Proactive Police Work

The Salisbury Police Department along with members of the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police, & MSP Gang Enforcement Unit concluded the first weekly Criminal Patrol Initiative (CPI) from May 31-June 2, 2012.

During this operation, the multi-jurisdictional officers conducted saturation patrols in the East Church St area, Doverdale area, Princeton Homes area, West Main St area, and the Smith St area.

These areas were targeted due to an influx of street robberies, thefts from motor vehicles and firearms related offenses.

Officers completed 20 Field Interview Reports, 5 On-view Arrests, 3 Arrest Warrants served, 28 Motor Vehicle Warnings issued, and 9 Motor Vehicle Citations issued.

In addition, the following was seized: a large quantity of suspected cocaine, $725 in USC, .22 caliber handgun, scales and related CDS paraphernalia.

The CPI will continue throughout the summer months. Efforts and resources will be focused using up to date crime data analysis.

Kudos to Chief Barbara Duncan and the SPD.

The Daily Times can stuff their cheap shot against her and our fine officers.

Oh so you mean the cops actually did some work in the areas that need it?

we alway "do work" in these areas 10:35. its just hard to get a handle on these places because we are outnumbered by the high number of ignorants that live there. maybe youre one of them?

Exactly. Maybe when joe is elected, he gets these guys much deserved raises, and gets more officers on the streets, Salisbury will be worth living in again. I cannot wait to see the progress these guys will make when they get what they need.

How is this kudos to the SPD Chief? We need 3 other police agencies to help patrol this one city that already has enough police officers to police a city twice as large.

This should be kudos to the MSP for helping in a jurisdiction that SHOULD be unnecessary.

Yea its great that we dedicate 12+ officers,deputies,troopers to work one area in the city when we only have 3 deputies and 2 troopers to cover the entire county. I called this week for some little brats breaking the windows out of a abandoned house. The sheriffs said they didnt have anyone available to call the state police. They told me they only had 2 troopers and were busy on a wreck and it would be an hour or more. Let the city police with their 100 or so officers handle the city, leave the handful of deputies and troopers to handle the county. We need protection also.

Good work to ALL the officers involved (regardless of which police agency they belong). Now if the judges would keep these low life's in jail they could take the revolving door off WCDC.

If Bobby Jones was Sheriff in wico county all of this would not be necessary.

10:41 could have fooled me and everyone else in Salisbury since you spend most of your time busting up college parties. BUt hey maybe I do not even live in Salisbury.

Unfortunately, in the city of salisbury, there are a lot of criminals. You actually need the present number of police officers who work for spd. It would probably be an excellent idea to have even more officers to combat crime. Until the current population of criminals is incarcerated, there won't be a huge reduction in crime here.
