Hope this is a regular feature here. Nice to see that the people know what the police dept has been doing.
keep up the good work.
I have lived in Pocomoke City for many years and I tell you it is comforting to look out of your window late at night and see Pocomoke Police actually walking up and down the streets.It gives you a sence of security and this is what we as residents of Pocomoke needed for a long long time.
It will definitely be a regular release. They will be released every Monday afternoon.

I agree Pat. I think you tend to notice things more when you walk and also can hear things you wouldn't normally hear in a car.
normally on new years eve people around here in pocomoke either go to church or shoot off their guns to bring in the new year. this year when midnight came around i didn't hear gun fire instead i heard people outside my house talking. when i looked out my window i saw pocomoke police walking past my house. I went outside to greet them and among the officers was our new police chief walking on foot with his them. great job pcpd
Free at last, free at last thank god almighty Pocomoke City is free at last. Bless you Pocomoke City P.D.
Dear Public Eye,
I am very glad to see the positive comments from the citizens of Pocomoke City with regard to the PCPD. Chief Sewell seems to be taking a very pro-active stance in community policing and using foot patrols. I have heard that residents have come out of their homes in the wee hours of the morning to talk with officers and thank them for patrolling their neighborhood.
It is my understanding that bike patrols will be back on the street as soon as the weather is suitable.
To Chief Sewell and the PCPD officers on the street, keep up the good work. To my neighbors in Pocomoke, please let me or your district city council person know what we can do to help you and the police to keep things moving in the right direction.
Too often it seems the police are only noticed when the perception is that they have done something wrong. It is heartwarming for the officers and also the Mayor and City Coucilmembers, to know that the police are also noticed for the good they do throughout the city.
Many thanks to those who have taken the time to comment and for the increased efforts by the PCPD!
I agree with the poster who said that you can notice and hear more of what is going on while walking of biking. That is why I often ride my bike around the district (and town) looking for things that need fixing.

District 5

I salute Chief Sewell, Green and Perkins (former Baltimore Police). City of Pokomoke I was taught eons ago "To Reach One and Teach One" and I was blessed to have your chief as my 1st protege. Chief Sewell far surpassed my teachings and was a star in Baltimore. Pokomoke city you are a blessed people to have such a star fall upon your beautiful city. I can't wait to visit ya'll.
Signed "Deep" (ask your chief)
Thankyou Councilman Clarke for your comments. As always your comments are appreciated.
It is so wonderful to read these comments and find out that the people in Pocomoke are taking the opportunity to know their police department.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
"Deep" - you can believe that someone will ask the chief about the nickname...if they haven't already.
Thankyou for taking the time to let all of us know your own personal feelings towards Pocomoke City's new Police Chief Kelvin Sewell. I will remember "To Reach One and Teach One".
P.S. If you know the Chief that well I hope you read his book. :)
My best to you.
