The Pocomoke City Police Department would like to celebrate National Police Woman's day by talking about our fantastic female officers that we are lucky to have!

   Pictured first is Corporal Northam, who has been a police officer for our city for over two years now and has made fantastic strides in bridging the gap between police and our citizens!

  Pictured next is Sergeant Lewis! Lewis has been a police officer for our city for much longer, close to ten years! Lewis is an active member in our armed forces and currently one of our K-9 handlers!

  Pictured also is K-9 Zeke, and while not a police woman, is still a very good boy.

We thank these amazing police women for their continued dedicated service to the citizens of Pocomoke City!

LONG AGO BUT NOT FAR AWAY- THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF OUR SOUTHERN PENINSULA 

From a 1951 feature article in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.  The author, Leonora W. Wood, (1892-1989) wrote articles of regional historic interest for Virginia newspapers and authored "Guide To Virginia's Eastern Shore" in 1952.  She was an inspiration for the novel "Christy" written by her daughter Catherine Marshall, a well-known author.  Mrs. Wood's husband was a minister who had served Holmes Presbyterian Church in Cheriton.
